Protest and Detentions at Panjab University During ABVP Event Featuring Right-Wing Guests
A protest at Panjab University against an ABVP event featuring right-wing guests led to a scuffle and the detention of 12 to 25 students. The protest, organized by left-leaning groups including Lalkaar, opposed the invitation of RSS-affiliated guests, citing concerns over 'saffronisation' of the university. Police intervened to separate groups, detaining several students who were later released. ABVP described their event as focused on women's empowerment, and no FIR was filed.
