Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishad (ABVP) took to the streets in Bengaluru and Mysore to protest against an event organised by Amnesty International India to draw attention towards alleged


human rights violations in Kashmir. Members of the ABVP protested outside the United Theological College on Millers Road on Sunday morning. On Saturday, Amnesty had organised an event


called ‘Broken Families’, aimed at highlighting human rights violations in Kashmir. However, arguments, slogans and counter-slogans broke out during the event. Three families from the Valley


were to speak about alleged human rights violations by the armed forces as a part of Amnesty’s Broken Families’ campaign. The event also included a performance by Kashmiri rapper Roushan


Illahi who goes by his stage name MC Kash. The performance was interrupted by sloganeering. Amnesty had obtained police protection for the event.
