NSUI members allege that the college principal organized an aarti and immersion of a statue with ABVP officials without informing them, calling it a biased act.
Student activists of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) staged a protest at a college in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, accusing the principal of favoritism towards the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). According to the NSUI representatives, the college administration arranged an aarti ceremony and the immersion of a statue, inviting ABVP officials, without prior notice to the NSUI members.
The protestors claimed that the lack of communication and the exclusive involvement of ABVP cadres indicated a deliberate bias by the principal, who they said had not consulted the student body before the ritual. They demanded an inquiry into the decision-making process and called for equitable treatment of all student political groups on campus.
College authorities have not yet responded to the allegations, and the matter remains under observation by the university's oversight committee. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between rival student organizations in Indian higher‑education institutions.
