A contingent of over 150 students and activists led by BJP national secretary R P Singh is starting Chalo NIT march from Delhi to show solidarity with the non local students of National Institute of Technology Srinagar.
Reports said that Singh has arranged some buses and is pushing the students towards Srinagar to show solidarity with NIT students who have been agitating in Srinagar for last few days. They are carrying a tricolor to assert that “no one can deny students to hoist it in Kashmir”.
Though Singh maintained that he was doing it in his personal capacity and not as a BJP functionary, this is likely to create trouble between the coalition partners in Jammu and Kashmir.
After India-West Indies cricket semi final on March 31, clashes broke out between non local and local students leading to tension on the campus. Now the non locals have boycotted classes and put certain demands with CRPF taking over the NIT.
