Jul 14, 2024
New Delhi [India], July 14 : The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) strongly condemned the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad's (ABVP) recent attempts to divert attention from the critical issue of fake degrees allegedly held by their office bearers at the University of Delhi.
NSUI President Varun Choudhary has spoken out against the malicious allegations by the ABVP, highlighting their "history of violence and misdirection".
Varun Choudhary stated, "This is a clear attempt by the ABVP to shift focus from real issues like the NEET, NET, and NTA scams. ABVP has consistently indulged in violence across Indian campuses. At the University of Delhi, they have repeatedly resorted to violence, including thrashing and threatening professors. These actions are not only condemnable but also reveal their true intent to mislead students and cover up their own malpractices."
In his detailed statement, titled "Our Response to ABVP's Diversion Tactics", Choudhary elaborated, "The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) condemns the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad's (ABVP) attempts to divert attention from the critical issue of fake degrees held by their office bearers at the University of Delhi. ABVP's fabricated violence, attacks on idols, and production of counterfeit degrees are efforts to mislead students and shift focus from their malpractices.
ABVP is known for spreading violence and threatening teachers and students on campuses across India. At the University of Delhi, the ABVP has thrashed and threatened professors in multiple incidents. They never address issues like the NEET, NET, or NTA scams; instead, they act as a safety valve for the BJP government.
NSUI is committed to truth, justice, and transparency, focusing on the real issues affecting students. We believe in addressing genuine student concerns and will continue to do so, stated an official release by the NSUI.
"We urge authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the fake degree scandal at DUSU, ensuring those responsible are held accountable. Our students deserve representatives with integrity, not those with fake degrees and marksheets," it read.
