BJP should not use universities to spread communalism: AAP

Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has hit out at BJP for holding a seminar on the Ramjanmabhoomi Temple issue at the Delhi University. The AAP accused the BJP of using universities to “spread communalism”, and alleged that the seminar was aimed at politicizing the issue ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections scheduled for 2017.

AAP’s criticism came after BJP leader Subramanian Swamy spoke on Saturday morning on the sensitive Ram temple issue at the two day seminar, titled ‘Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi Temple: Emerging Scenario’. The meet has been held at Delhi University’s arts faculty by Arundhati Vashishtha Anusandhan Peeth (AVAP), a research organization founded by late VHP leader Ashok Singhal.
