More than 1500 students joined Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s (ABVP) Mashaal Juloos in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on March 19 night. The Juloos was organised as part of the campaign ahead of the student union polls in the university.
The Mashal Juloos started from Ganga Dhaba of JNU to the Chandrabhaga hostel in which hundreds of students from different departments of JNU participated.
The torch march was taken out under the leadership of ABVP president candidate Umesh Chandra Ajmira, vice president candidate Deepika Sharma, secretary candidate Arjun Anand and joint secretary candidate Govind Dangi, who participated in the Bharat Mata Yatra. The JNU campus was filled with slogans like Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Mataram.
“Today we took out a huge Mashal Juloos from Ganga Dhaba to Chandrabhaga hostel in Jawaharlal Nehru University in which a large number of students participated. It is clear from the crowd gathered in this Mashal Juloos that the leftists are going to be wiped out from JNU and the Vidyarthi Parishad is coming with strength on all four seats in the JNU Student Union elections,” ABVP JNU Unit Secretary Vikas Patel said.
