Dozens of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad activists on Tuesday staged a protest at Bunts Hostel Circle, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the wake of the alleged coal block allocation controversy.
The protest was in response to nationwide protest and college bundh jointly called by ABVP and Youth Against Corruption (YAC).
The protesters said the Prime Minister should take political and moral responsibility for the coal-gate scam and should immediately step down. They demanded that a judicial probe be conducted on the issue.
Their other demands included taking immediate steps to bring back black money of Indians stashed away in foreign banks.
One of the speakers at the protest meet alleged that the UPA government had got involved in a series of scams running into crores of rupees. “The UPA is getting into one scam after another at a time when the people of the country are suffering from various problems, including price rise,” he said.
