Tumakuru, Apr 4: A leader of All India Students' Federation and law student, who was brutally attacked by a gang of ABVP activists during the distribution of pamphlets, said that the saffron brigades again threatened her to kill if she was seen in Tumakuru again.
Recounting her ordeal, a second-semester law student of Vidyodaya Law college, Jyothi.K., said that ABVP workers did not allow her to get into a autorickshaw and they even threatened the driver that the vehicle would be burned if he allowed her to sit in the vehicle.
Ms. Jyothi said that that around 80 ABVP workers beat her and All India Youth Federation (AIYF) State vice-president, V.Chinnappa, and that they were also not allowed to speak. She was allegedly kicked in the stomach and beaten with helmets for distributing pamphlets criticising the saffronisation of education.
“The incident has made me strong and I will continue to fight against the privatisation of education and other problems in the education system,” she said.
Mr. Chinnappa said, “My parents are worried about me as I was badly beaten up by the ABVP workers.”
Both denied shouting “Pakistan Zindabad”. A case of physical assault against ABVP workers was registered in the New Extension Police Station on March 30 and a sedition case was registered against them by an ABVP worker on March 31.
The police said that the investigation is going on and no arrests have been made yet.
Mr. Chinnappa and Ms. Jyothi were distributing leaflets criticising the BJP and RSS. The leaflets also expressed support for Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union president, Kanhaiya Kumar and the deceased research scholar of University of Hyderabad, Rohit Vemula, on March 30.
A group of students, said to be ABVP workers, objected to the distribution of pamphlets. However, both the functionaries argued with them.
However, the ABVP workers thrashed them and alleged that they were raising slogans of Pakistan Zindabad', said an eyewitness, Kambegowda, who is also the district secretary of Communist Party of India.
The student-activist, who was allowed to talk on stage, suddenly raised pro-Pakistan slogans. She was arrested by police after All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi snatched her mike.

I'm a Gujrati Brahmin settled in Bangalore. I come from a family which has been in the RSS for three generations. Being from RSS, I and my family were big supporters of the Modi Government when it came to power in the early 2000. We are middle class people, my father being the owner of a small printing press in Amdbd. We had Muslim employees working in the press. All of them were killed in 2002. This openned my father's and my eyes to the reality of BJP, RSS and Modi. My father winded up the business and by 2004 we quit Gujarat and settled in Bangalore. RSS is the most fascist organization in India. BJP is the most corrupt party. Gujrat model is nothing but a web of lies corruption and photoshop. Forget Hindus, Modi will harm the business class too. Modi only works for a few selected business houses rest all should fend for themselves. Living in the considerably freee and cosmopolitan environs of Bangalore I've realized that there is no progress if it is limited to a caste, a religious majority or minority or any other group. Progress has to be for all. RSS and its cronies will not last long. Country is getting sick and tired of their threats and abuses. Their inciting of riots at the drop of a hat. Woe to them when the 80% of the population take a leaf out of their book and hunt them down like dogs that they are.
