Ujjain: Thirteen Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal activists were arrested on Wednesday in connection to the commotion caused by a group of allegedly right wing activists at the University of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. Vice Chancellor of Vikram University Jawahar Kaul suffered a minor attack and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Reportedly, the attack occurred after the university issued an appeal to help any Kashmiri students affected by the floods that have claimed several hundred lives and devastated the capital city, Srinagar.
Kaul said he had appealed through a local newspaper for help to aid students whose families were thought caught in Kashmir's worst floods in a century.
The protesters were apparently angry that such appeals had not been issued for victims of past deadly floods elsewhere in the country, including in Uttarakhand last year.
