‘This is fascism in action’

February 23, 2017 01:10 am | Updated 01:10 am IST - New Delhi

Shehla Rashid Shora, former JNUSU vice-president, is still recovering from the attack that left her with a bleeding ankle.

“What happened today [Wednesday] was fascism in action. I thought I would be killed when ABVP members dragged me in full view of the Delhi Police,” she said.

“This is an attack on the idea of a university by the ABVP. They even grabbed my phone and broke it,” said Ms. Shora.

“The ABVP is saying that they protested because anti-national students from JNU were coming to spoil Delhi University. I can safely say that, barring a handful, all students who had gathered for the march were from DU,” she added.

Ms. Shora also lashed out at the police, asking why they did not stop the ABVP members.
