NSUI alleges that DU student union president of ABVP submitted fake documents for admission
Congress-backed student’s wing, NSUI alleged that newly elected Delhi University Students’ Union president Ankiv Basoya of RSS student wing, ABVP submitted fake documents for gaining admission in the university, PTI reported.
The NSUI had released a letter from Thiruvalluvar University in response to a communication from the student’s body. It stated that the BA certificate submitted by Basoya from the university is fake.
ABVP replied by saying that after verification of documents, the admission had been allowed by the university.
In a statement, the ABVP termed the NSUI allegation a propaganda. “Delhi University gave admission to Ankiv Basoya after due verification of its documents. It’s the process of DU. Even today DU has all the right to verify documents of any student enrolled in the university. But it’s not the job of NSUI to provide certificates to any person.
“DU has all the right to verify documents of not only Ankiv but all DUSU office bearers to stop rumours in future.”
(ABVP) won three out of four seats in the Delhi University Students’ Union polls, namely president, vice-president and joint secretary. Congress- backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) bagged the post of secretary.
The counting of votes had been paused for five hours after student organizations alleged ‘faulty EVMs’. It resumed later in the evening.
Expectations were on the fight being among the ABVP, NSUI and the joint panel of the All India Students’ Association (AISA) and AAP’s Chattra Yuva Sangarsh Samiti (CYSS). However, the main competition simmered between NSUI and ABVP.
NDTV reported that the EVMs had not been issued by the Election Commission of India but rather ‘privately’.
“…I am directed to inform that the EVMs in question are not of Election Commission as no such EVMs have been allotted/issued to DU by this office,” Delhi chief electoral officer Manoj Kumar said in a statement late on Thursday. “It seems that the DU (Delhi University) has procured these machines privately,” he said.
