Ban on ABVP: BJP hints at action against Jammu University vice-chancellor

New Delhi: BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Tuesday condemned the 'obstinate behavior' of Jammu University Vice-Chancellor Professor R.D Sharma to ban the party's youth wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in all educational institutions in the region and said action would be taken accordingly. 

"BJP Ministers take up Jammu University vice-chancellor obstinate behaviour against ABVP. Action wl b taken (sic)," Madhav tweeted. 

The entry of the ABVP has been banned in all educational institutions in the Jammu region. The ban on ABVP comes in the back drop of BJP sharing power with PDP in the state. It is reported that the ABVP had sought permission from Government Women College Prade, Jammu, for holding national executive committee meet, which was out rightly rejected, even though Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Nirmal Singh was the guest for the event.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir BJP leaders have come at forefront in ABVP`s defence.

State legislative assembly speaker Kavinder Gupta has termed the move as unfortunate and related it to depriving the organization of its political rights.
