HRD Ministry seeks report from DU over violence in Ramjas college

Human Resource Development Ministry has sought a report from Delhi University over yesterday's violence in Ramjas college. HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said this while replying to a media query in New Delhi. Left-affiliated AISA and the RSS-backed ABVP clashed with each other yesterday, causing injuries to many.<br/><br/>The reason of the clash was an invite to JNU students, Umar Khalid, who is facing sedition charge, and Shehla Rashid to address a seminar on 'Culture of Protests'. The seminar was withdrawn by the college authorities following opposition by the ABVP.<br/><br/>A few policemen and journalists were also roughed up during the violence.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Delhi Police said that a few of its personnel acted unprofessionally in tackling the clashes. An inquiry has been instituted and strict action will be taken. <br/><br/>Special Commissioner (Law and Order) SBK Singh assured a fair investigation into the matter. He was addressing students who had gathered infront of police headquarters to protest against alleged biased action by police during the clash. <br/><br/>He said several complaints have been received from both the sides and an FIR was registered yesterday.
