ABVP stage protest in Mumbai University's Kalina Campus
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) supporters staged a protest against the amendments made to the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016, at the Kalina campus of the Mumbai University. The ABVP agitation is the part of a month-long campaign, which is being held in colleges and universities across the state. The ABVP is also holding signature drives to build up public opinion against the amendments.

This move is being opposed by the BJP, which claims that it will lead to political interference in institutions of higher education and undermine the role of the governor.
