The campaign ‘Save DU’ used by ABVP is somewhat similar to AISA and other Left organisations used during their campaign. Other general students who did not belong to any unions also joined the march on Tuesday to protest against the alleged campus violence by ABVP members.

According to reports, AISA is likely to plan a counter rally on March 4.

AISA and NSUI have blamed ABVP for the February 22 violence at Ramjas College where many students and professors were injured.

Ramjas College witnessed violent clashes between members of the ABVP and the AISA. The ABVP carried out the protest against an event invite to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Umar Khalid, accused in sedition case last year for an event in the college.
