Overview

  • Rahul Gandhi visited the North Campus on May 22 to meet Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and OBC students without informing university authorities, and the proctor’s office said the move disrupted student governance.
  • On May 26, ABVP organised the ‘Chhatra Samman Yatra’ from Kirori Mal College to the DUSU office, where protesters burned an effigy of Gandhi and accused NSUI members of misconduct during the visit.
  • ABVP leader Rishabh Chaudhary posted a video showing him smearing cow dung on DUSU President Ronak Khatri’s office in retaliation for Khatri’s earlier cow dung protest at Lakshmibai College.
  • NSUI members held a counter-protest on May 27 at the DUSU office, burning a symbolic RSS uniform and charging ABVP with instigating chaos to divert attention from campus issues.
  • Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh criticised Gandhi’s unannounced appearance as a violation of university procedures and urged that future visits follow formal security and administrative protocols.
