'Divisive' RSS, ABVP should be banned in educational institutions: Congress

Congress leaders accuse RSS and ABVP of promoting divisive ideology, demand immediate ban in educational institutions over student safety concerns

"They cannot be allowed to play with the dignity and honour of the girls - Alka Lamba, All India Mahila Congress President"

New Delhi, Oct 17

The Congress on Friday accused the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its students' wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) of promoting “divisive” ideology and sought a ban on the two organisations in educational institutions.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, the All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba and the National Students' Union of India president Varun Choudhary demanded strict action against ABVP activists for trying to film girl students while they were changing their costumes in a Government College of Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh.

Lamba stated that the accused ABVP activists were being defended by the BJP leaders, which was quite shameful.

She asserted that they will not allow the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh to let these ABVP activists go scot-free.

"They cannot be allowed to play with the dignity and honour of the girls," she added.

She also referred to the reported sexual assault on a girl student at the South Asian University in Delhi and sought action from Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

Choudhary demanded that RSS and ABVP must be banned in the educational institutions as they were spreading "divisive ideology".

He also demanded that Deepika Jha, an ABVP leader and DUSU joint secretary, be rusticated for allegedly slapping a professor of one of the affiliated colleges of Delhi University recently.

Referring to the RSS activities, he cited an incident in Kerala where an IT professional had committed suicide after revealing how he had been sexually assaulted and exploited for several years in the RSS shakhas and training camps.

He alleged that the NSUI activists were being victimised, intimidated and persecuted in the BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh for opposing the divisive ideology of the RSS in educational institutions.

While I agree that any misconduct should be punished, banning entire organizations seems extreme. Let's focus on punishing the actual wrongdoers rather than making blanket bans. Every organization has some bad apples.

As a student myself, I've seen how political organizations create unnecessary tensions on campus. Education should be the priority, not politics. But let's ensure justice is done properly through legal channels.

The sexual assault allegations are deeply concerning. No student should ever feel unsafe in their educational institution. There needs to be a proper investigation and support system for victims. 🙏

Congress is just playing politics as usual. They never raised these issues when they were in power. Now they're trying to score political points. Both sides need to stop using students as pawns.

Slapping a professor? Filming girls? These are criminal offenses, not political differences. The law should take its course regardless of which organization the accused belong to. Justice must be blind.
