Counter protest: Congress targets pro-BJP college managements for allowing students to participate in ABVP rally
Youth Congress workers held a counter protest in Mysuru on Tuesday to condemn the efforts of ABVP to allegedly instill negative sentiments about the Congress among students under the guise of its 'drug-free campus' campaign. KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshmana told reporters at the counter protest organised by Youth Congress activists in Mysuru that the Congress party will be forced to hold demonstrations outside the institutions of certain pro-BJP managements, which were allowing its students to participate in programmes organised by the BJP and its frontal organisations. Mr. Lakshmana said that he will lodge a complaint with the police to file cases against the managements of such institutions, and urged the government to withdraw the recognition of these educational institutions for 'allowing the students to be misused for political purposes'. He alleged that the speeches made by the leaders of the BJP and its frontal organisations at the demonstration organised by ABVP as part of its 'drug-free campus' campaign at Gun House circle in Mysuru on Tuesday were aimed at instilling negative sentiments about the Congress party and Muslims in the minds of the students. The aim of the demonstration organised by the ABVP was to defame the Congress government in Karnataka, Mr. Lakshmana said. Moreover, he stated that the narcotic drugs seized in Mysuru recently were part of a racket that had its roots in Gujarat and Maharashtra, which are ruled by the BJP. Claiming that drugs worth ₹25,000 crore had been seized in BJP-ruled States during the last ten years, Mr. Lakshmana blamed the Maharashtra police and the anti-narcotics sleuths of the Centre for providing 'wrong' information regarding the raid in Mysuru by exaggerating the worth of the seizure only to defame the Congress government in Karnataka. Seeking to clarify that the narcotic drugs seized in Mysuru was not MDMA, but Mephedrone weighing about 20 kg, Mr. Lakshmana said a that kilogram of Mephedrone costs about ₹20 lakh. Hence, the total seizure is worth ₹4 crore and not ₹400 crore as alleged, he added. While the drugs seized in Mysuru were part of a drug racket that had its roots in Gujarat and Maharashtra, the Mysuru City Police had done a good job by raiding the premises along with a team of police from Mumbai, he said.
