Over 40 injured in NSU-ANNISR (R) clash at Public Youth Campus Over 40 students were injured in a clash between Nepali Congress-affiliated Nepal Students Union and the Maoist-affiliated All Nepal National Independent Students Union-Revolutionary) (ANNISU-R) at Public Youth Campus in Kathmandu Thursday.
The clash erupted following a minor dispute between the two student unions over the issue of a planned programme at the campus.
Among those injured, 13 NSU students are undergoing treatment at different hospitals in the capital.
According to students, the ANNISU-R students also set ablaze the office of the Free Student Union and torched nine motorcycles following the dispute.
President of the Free Students Union Sobhit Man Shrestha was seriously injured and is undergoing treatment at Bir Hospital.
Talking to Nepalnews, NSU vice-president Pradip Poudel said the incident has proved that the Maoists are yet to abandon the politics of violence even after they agreed to join the politics of competition.
He also warned that the NSU would be compelled to take strong action if the Maoist students did not correct such activities.
Earlier, ANNISU-R clashed with UML-affiliated All Nepal National Free Student Union (ANNFSU) in Ratna Rajya Laxmi Campus at Exhibition Road and Sanothimi Campus, Bhaktapur. nepalnews.com pb Nov 30 06
