NSUI burns effigy of state govt

Raipur, February 15, 2012

The NSUI members on Wednesday burnt an effigy of the state government in protest of police action against their fellow members at Durg.

The NSUI’s Raipur district vice president Bhavesh Shukla informed that the organisation’s members were roughed up while they had been to Durg-based Apollo Physiotherapy College to talk to the administration regarding its first year student Jayanti Bhaskar who was denied permission to appear in the examination on grounds of non-submission of double fee.

“The college administration also used the police force to oust the NSUI members from the campus. The college administration did not even spare the NSUI’s state president Devendra Yadav as he too was ill-treated when he went there to talk to principal,” Shukla charged.

“The college administration went to the extent of lodging false report of vandalism against Yadav and other NSUI members with the police,” he added.

Shukla warned the government of launching massive protest movements against it if it would not ask the college administration to take back the false report against Yadav and NSUI members and take action suitable against the college administration.

“The objective of the NSUI is to fight for the causes of the students but it seems the police and the government are giving support to the college to prevent our organisation to use its democratic rights,” Shukla said.

While burning the effigy of the government, Shukla was accompanied by Akash Sharma, Ashish Dwivedi, Amit Sharma, Manish Sharma, Ravindra Singh, Vishnu Sharma, Hemant Sharma, Himanshu Agrawal, Parvez Ahmed, Sumit Sharma, Akash Upadhyay, etc.
