Even before the program started today, student organization All India Students Association (AISA) and some other groups started protesting against it. Due to this, a large number of police forces have been deployed outside the campus.
Sloganeering against this program of RSS started under the leadership of AISA. Left student organizations reached the place where this program was to be held and started raising slogans. According to the schedule, the program was to start at 10:30 but due to the uproar the program could not start. Till now no information has been revealed about the program even by the organizers.

‘RSS Go Back’
This type of RSS program is being organized for the first time in Jamia. This program is being organized in the name of ‘Yuva Kumbh’. According to its official page on social media, the event is to celebrate 100 years of RSS and its nation-first philosophy. Its main objective is said to be to inspire the youth to learn, unite and do social service.
However, the protesting students say that allowing an organization like RSS to hold events on campus amounts to promoting communal agenda. Students are raising slogans of ‘RSS go back’ in protest against this program.
Why protest?
AISA says that while Jamia administration does not allow programs related to education and democracy, giving stage to RSS shows double standards. Student organizations also said that attempts were being made to weaken the country’s legacy of independence and secular values. AISA says that there should be no place for politics of communalism and violence in any university of the country including Jamia.

AISA and SFI together
In this matter, AISA has also got the support of SFI Jamia Millia Islamia. SFI has issued a statement saying that the students of Jamia will not allow the agenda of the Sangh to be carried out in the university and are standing united against it. RSS is a force spreading communalism and hatred which will not get entry in the university campus.
