On 2 September, during the All India General Strike, ABVP goons had misbehaved with AISA leader from lucknow University, Com. Pooja Shukla who was participating in a dharna in the university premises. Though an FIR was lodged in the case against the accused, there has been no action initiated either by the university administration or the district administration. On 18 September a protest was called by AISA against this inaction. However, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s police stopped AISA and other mass organisations to organise a dharna in the GPO park. There were clashes between the activists and the police. As the police prevented the dharna, the activists raised loud slogans against the sangh brigade and also the Akhilesh Yadav government for refusing to act against the misdeeds of sangh’s mass organisations. Prevented from holding the dharna, the activists continued to raise slogans and took out a march to expose the inactions of Akhilesh Yadav government against sangh’s lumpenism.
