Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and All India Students Association activists from Delhi University clashed on Wednesday, a day after JNU student Umar Khalid'€™s visit to Ramjas College was blocked by protesting students.


ABVP activists were staging a protest in the college on Wednesday as well which led to a clash between them and AISA members. Both ABVP and AISA are student political groups representing opposite ideological stands.


Umar Khalid and former JNUSU vice president Shehla Rashid were invited to speak at a seminar in Ramjas College on Tuesday but their visit was cancelled after ABVP and DUSU members gathered outside the college gate and shouted slogans against them. There were also allegations of the protesters using violent methods like stone pelting. On Wednesday, the protesters also clashed with police personnel deployed at the scene.

Umar Khalid was among JNU students who were charged with sedition after January 9 episode last year in which a group of students were seen shouting anti-India slogans in mobile footages. Khalid was then absconding for a long time before appearing again to address the students at University.
