Members of the opposition students union, National Students Union of India (NSUI) on Saturday staged protest outside the venue of a seminar to be addressed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy.
The members of NSUI raised slogans and held placards to protest against Swamy's seminar on the construction of Ram temple. There were also reports of clashes between members of NSUI and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
Reacting to it, Swamy said, "Everyone has the right to protest in a democracy, but you should ask them why they have resorted to intolerance despite speaking against it."
Swamy was slated to address a seminar on the construction of the controversial Ram Temple in Ayodhya at Delhi University.
Swamy had earlier said that the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya would begin by the end of 2016 with the cooperation of the Muslim community.
This comes days after Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma raked up the Ram temple issue. Sharma claimed that the Central government was committed to the construction of the temple in Ayodhya where the Babri masjid was demolished back in 1992.
