Many college students could not enter the auditorium either. The protestors said, “It is a shame that the person under whose leadership the horrific Gujarat genocide took place is being allowed to use the legitimacy of academic spaces like Delhi University for his fascist ends and prime ministerial ambitions.” “The progressive democratic voices in Delhi cannot let this happen, and so we are protesting,” the activists said.
