Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (RD)
Mangalore, Jul 29: The All College Students' Union has called for a bandh on Monday July 30 to condemn the attack on students at Morning Mist Home Stay, Padil.
The Union also expressed their deep concern over the rising number of attacks on students due to moral policing by communal outfits. The attacks have jeopardized the future of students, a media release from the Union stated.
The Union also criticized the district Youth Congress for misusing the Union's name. "The Union does not belong to any party, but the district Youth Congress has been misusing our name. They should not involve themselves in student affairs," the release stated, urging the state Congress leaders to take action against the district Youth Congress.
Strongly condemning the attack, the Union stressed that attacking students in the name of Indian culture does not bring glory to communal outfits, but instead invites more shame and creates an atmophere of animosity.
The Union has urged college students across the district to boycott classes on July 30 and observe the bandh.
