Congress Demands Ban on RSS and ABVP in Educational Institutions

Party leaders frame the move as a campus safety measure requiring the exclusion of RSS-linked groups.

Overview

  • At an AICC press conference in New Delhi, Alka Lamba and NSUI president Varun Choudhary called for institutions to bar RSS and ABVP, describing their ideology as divisive.
  • The demand referenced an incident at a Mandsaur government college where ABVP activists allegedly tried to film female students changing, with Congress accusing BJP leaders of defending the accused.
  • Lamba highlighted a reported sexual assault at South Asian University and sought action from Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
  • Choudhary urged the rustication of ABVP leader and DUSU joint secretary Deepika Jha over an alleged assault on a BR Ambedkar College professor, citing claims of video evidence.
  • Congress also pointed to a Kerala suicide case alleging abuse within RSS shakhas and said NSUI workers face intimidation in BJP-ruled states, while no official response or disciplinary action was reported.
