Samajwadi Party Ashutosh Singh

Violence broke out in Banaras Hindu University today to protest the arrest of a student leader affiliated to the Samajwadi Party for allegedly creating ruckus at several events in recent days.

"In a war, it is not possible to vacillate or to be weak or to play the role of Hamlet. One has to be really ruthless if the need arises. I am ruthless for what I think. The difficulty is I move. These people remain static...Circumstances, experiences challenge me and change me. I am no longer the same person."
