Amidst a raging controversy overa ban on a student e-zine by St Stephen's college, Delhi ChiefMinister Arvind Kejriwal attended a graduation ceremony at the institute, even as a section of students had urged him to turn down the invite in support for freedom of speech.

Devansh Mehta -- the editor and co-founder of St Stephen's Weekly e-zine -- was suspended from the college on disciplinary grounds after he published an interview allegedly without seeking clearance from the principal on its content. He was also stripped off a good conduct award which he was to receive today from Kejriwal.

The CM attended the ceremony,which was made out of bounds for the media. According to the students, Kejriwal asked them to focus on education but at the same time not to take life too seriously and enjoy it to the fullest. He did not broach on the controversy, they said.
