New Delhi: Members of a left wing students’ organisation on Wednesday
staged a noisy protest against Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi’s visit to
a Delhi University college.
Activists of All India Students Association tried to storm
the venue where Modi was supposed to deliver his speech.
Holding banners and placards, they shouted anti-Modi
slogans. They were protesting against Modi’s developmental model in Gujarat.
They accused Modi of 2002 anti-Muslim riots in which 1200 people were killed.
Police had to use water cannons and batons to quell the
crowd.
Modi, the hardline nationalist politician, was invited by
the college to deliver the inaugural speech at an event.
