Brij Samvad
Protesting against the increase in religious quota in admission at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), thousands of activists of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and other nationalist organisations took out a march from Ramlila grounds of Aligarh to the University. The agitators crossed all barricades erected by the local police and reached near the bus stand. Later, They were arrested by the police and taken to Krishnajali Playhouse. But a group of protestors successfully entered the AMU premises and shouted slogans against providing reservation on religious grounds. Later, they were arrested by the police. Earlier, addressing the protestors, Shri K.N. Raghunandan, ABVP general secretary, said 50 per cent reservation in AMU was unconstitutional and also against the directions of the Supreme Court. ?It shows the Muslim appeasement policy of the Congress. A large part of the education budget is being diverted to minority educational institutions as well as to Muslim students in the name of scholarship. The youth of the country will throw this government away as they had thrown the British government,? he said and added the government was distorting the education of the country and misleading the students. He further said the Prime Minister of the country was also infected by this virus that was why he praised the British rule in the country. The national secretary, Shri Dharmpal Singh said if reservation was increased, the AMU would become an exclusive institution for a particular community. He said that AMU is a national property and it runs on the annual government donation of about Rs 250 crore. Therefore it could not be a minority institution, he said. Shriniwas Chaturvedi, president, Benaras Student Union and Shri Bhupesh, ABVP secretary of eastern Uttar Pradesh also addressed the meeting.

Sudarshan and Sarkaryavah Shri Mohan Bhagwat expressed their condolence. In his tribute Shri Sudarshan said: ?Premnath Sharmaji has also left us. He was among the second-generation workers of the Sangh. I know him since 1953 when we met at the Sangh Shiksha Varga in Nagpur. Premnath Sharma became a Sangh Pracharak in 1946, he had to lose one of his hands during the Partition. Despite losing one hand, he successfully did all the physical exercises, besides Yogachap and shool, at the Varga. He expanded the Sangh work in undivided Punjab for years and later joined the BMS in 1967. I pay my humble tribute to the departed soul and pray to the Almighty to grant strength to the Swayamsevaks and lakhs of BMS workers to bear the loss and also to work for the motherland till their last breath.?
