DUSU president's picture with guns kicks up row

October 04, 2016 00:24

A photograph of Delhi University Students' Union president Amit Tanwar and few others, showing them 'posing' with guns on the varsity premises, surfaced on social media today, kicking up a row.

NSUI demanded a probe into the matter involving Tanwar, who represents Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad affiliated to the RSS.

University authorities, however, refused to comment.

The pictures were alleged to be from a 'memorial service' for Tanwar's brother, organised in the DUSU office.

Tanwar claimed the guns belonged to "security officers" of one of the guests who had come to pay homage to his "social activist" brother Pradeep.

He claimed the picture was clicked against his wishes.

"At the memorial service, few guests wanted to click a photo and they laid the guns on the table. I refused to get clicked but they went ahead and uploaded them without my knowledge," Tanwar said.

Demanding probe into the matter, NSUI accused ABVP of vitiating the atmosphere of student politics in Delhi University.
