Right-wing outfit ABVP condemns clashes at CJP protest, urges authorities to ‘address student issues through dialogue’

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has condemned the clashes that took place during the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP)-led protest in New Delhi, calling for student-related issues to be resolved through constructive dialogue rather than confrontation.

In a statement, the student organisation said violence or clashes should not overshadow genuine concerns raised by students and urged all stakeholders to adopt a peaceful approach.

ABVP calls for dialogue

Reacting to the developments during the 'Chalo Sansad' protest, the ABVP said educational concerns should be addressed through meaningful discussions between the government, students and relevant authorities.

The organisation appealed for calm and emphasised that dialogue remains the most effective way to find lasting solutions to issues affecting students.

Condemns violence

While expressing concern over the clashes, the ABVP said any form of violence or disruption during protests was regrettable.

The organisation urged all parties to maintain peace and ensure that demonstrations remain within the framework of the law.

It also stressed the importance of protecting students' interests while preserving public order.

Political row continues

The CJP-led protests have sparked widespread political debate after clashes between demonstrators and security personnel in the national capital.

Opposition parties have accused the Centre of using excessive force against protesters, while the government has maintained that police acted to enforce security measures and maintain law and order.

The issue has also been raised in Parliament and is being examined in courts through multiple petitions.

Focus on resolving concerns

The ABVP's statement adds another voice to the ongoing debate surrounding the protests, with various student organisations, political parties and civil society groups expressing differing views on the events.

As discussions over education policy and the handling of the demonstrations continue, calls for dialogue are expected to remain central to efforts aimed at easing tensions.
