During a recent conversation with Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, students from Gargi College in Delhi University recounted a troubling incident involving the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). They described feeling threatened when ABVP members allegedly forced their way onto campus on April 17, breaking through a gate after being denied entry due to college rules. The students expressed concern over the lack of police intervention during the incident, stating that despite a police presence, the ABVP members were not stopped. This incident was linked to ongoing student council elections, where a candidate reportedly backed by the ABVP had contacted faculty regarding the election process, which students claimed was unfair. Gandhi highlighted the need to empower Gen Z women, stating, “Gen Z women will lead the way,” while also discussing the controversial women's reservation amendment bill, which he criticized for its timing and implications for political representation across India. He warned that altering seat allocations without careful consideration could lead to regional tensions.
