BHU student, who shouted out to PM, slapped by BJP workers

February 22, 2016 14:05

Student in PM Narendra Modi's programme at the Banaras Hindu University raises slogans, demanding the revival of student union at the varsity, was slapped allegedly by BJP activists in audience.

The student, Ashutosh Singh, had shouted about student body elections at BHU just as the PM was leaving the stage after finishing his address.

He was grabbed by the police and then attacked by BJP workers.

Last month, PM Modi's speech at the Ambedkar University in Lucknow was disrupted by two slogan shouting protesters. The protesters were escorted out by the police and detained for questioning.

The BJP has been apprehensive about trouble during PM Modi's visit because of protests over JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar's arrest for sedition and the suicide of Hyderabad university scholar Rohit Vemula last month.
