Mangalore, August 19: Confusion prevailed at St Aloysius College, here as a large number of students on Friday morning staged a demonstration after the College management allegedly suspended 10 PUC students for boycotting classes to take part in demonstration in support of Anna Hazare's movement against corruption.
Anxious students led by ABVP gathered at the main entrance to the College threatening to intensify the protest if the College management took any action against any student for participating in anti-corruption demonstration.
According to the sources, the students had planned to demonstrate in support of the anti-corruption movement on Thursday, but were supposedly denied permission by the college authorities. Moreover, the protesters accused the Principal of suspending 10 students for staging demonstration in support of Anna on Thursday.
Students who participated in Friday morning's protest claimed to be agitating both in support of Mr Hazare and against the actions of the College.
However, the agitating students agreed to return to their classes after they were promised that no action will be initiated against them, said Mahesh, an ABVP leader.
The college staff denied having any knowledge about the suspension of 10 students. They said that the students were given permission to agitate on Wednesday but permission was denied for agitation the following day, which has led to this protest.
The Principal of the College declined to comment on the issue.
