Swaraj Abhiyan seeks Prez intervention in Richa Singh's case- 6-Mar-2016
New Delhi: Swaraj Abhiyan demanded the President's intervention in a case involving Allahabad University Students' Union President Richa Singh and alleged that the BJP was trying to "harass" her by cancelling her admission as she had stopped controversial party MP Yogi Adityanath's entry into the varsity.
The organisation, headed by lawyer Prashant Bhushan and activist Yogendra Yadav, said the ABVP had won all the remaining seats in the panel in the varsity polls and alleged, "It is evident now that the plan is to remove her and install the ABVP Vice President as the President".
"After Hyderabad and JNU, now it's Allahabad University. It is a move to throw out first woman Student Union president Richa Singh," Yadav said.
Richa is a PhD scholar who was admitted in 2013-14 in the Globalisation and Development Studies Centre. Two years after her admission, a complaint was made against her admission on a reserved category seat.
The organisation said Singh has written a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee complaining against the harassment by Allahabad University allegedly at the behest of ABVP and the ruling party. It also appealed to the President to take note of the "disturbing trend" in varsities.
Swaraj Abhiyan national president Anand Kumar said, "After Hyderabad and JNU now it seems is the turn of Allahabad University to be targeted by the ruling party. It seems that a conspiracy is being worked out to remove Richa Singh."
