Protesters allege the administration allowed ABVP members to confront them rather than engaging with their concerns. Jakhar condemned the attacks on students and pledged that NSUI would work to challenge such unchecked influence on campuses.<\/p>\n<p>The climate of impunity enjoyed by ABVP, an organisation affiliated with the ruling political establishment, reflects a growing trend of state-supported harassment of dissenting voices in Indian universities.
