Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu faced disruptions from angry students while campaigning for the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) at the Jawaharlal Nehru University on Tuesday night. Khandu was joined in the campaign by Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal and Manipur CM Biren Singh.
As he started speaking, Khandu was disrupted by a student who said that several students from Northeast India were not allowed to enter the venue of the Koyna Hostel mess. “All the students from the Northeast have not been allowed to enter here. This is not right,” she said. Her disruptions were followed by cries of ‘Bharat mata ki jai’ by ABVP members.
Responding to her, Khandu said that, “I have not yet started speaking, let me begin, we will take your questions later.”
Students were protesting outside the venue, with placards, against the Citizenship Amendment Bill. Several students said that they were not allowed to enter by the ABVP. Promises of an interactive session were also rescinded, and eventually only two questions were allowed once the three CMs spoke individually.
