AISA Alleges member to be part of ABVP:
On this incident All Indian Students Association (AISA) released a statement which reads, "Despite the public display of arms, neither the college security, nor the Delhi police took cognizance of this. The person with a gun in his hand was not removed from the university premises, neither was any legal action initiated against him." The Left-wing students' organization also accused the student to be a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). However, the right-wing student's union denied the allegations made against them.
ABVP denied allegations
The National Media Convenor of ABVP Ashutosh Singh replied, "The student in that video does not belong to ABVP. ABVP is always with the students and fights for issues which concern the students of this university." He retreated that AISA has no strong point, so they are maligning the right-wing student's union by making fake allegations against them.
