Ideologically divided, PU’s left & right at daggers drawn

Chandigarh | Sunday | 18th August, 2019

Summary:

The right-wing ABVP raised objections to SFS’s former Panjab University Campus Students Council (PUCSC) president Kanupriya boycotting the Independence Day celebrations at a protest, accusing her of supporting Punjab referendum. The SFS has common understanding with the issues raised in the protest as well as ideological differences with the other organisations involved in it,” shared Kanupriya. The SFS opposes the pseudo-nationalism of the RSS, the agenda behind which is to build the single-market for big corporates. Supporters of the ABVP supporters, on the other hand, agitated with Kanpuriya’s address at the protest, where she called Independence Day a “Black Day” and raised black-coloured flags. The Modi government is also robbing the country through foreign and domestic corporate houses behind the shield of nationalism..
