ABVP protests outside Tamil Nadu House in Delhi, demand Stalin's resignation over Anna University Sexual harassment case

New Delhi [India], December 30 (ANI): ABVP workers protested outside Tamil Nadu House in Delhi on Monday over the alleged sexual harassment incident at Chennai's Anna University.
The protesters demanded the resignation of the Chief Minister and demanded strict action against the university.
One of the protesters said, "The DMK government should step down in shame. As protectors of the people, it's appalling that a student who leaves home to study in a college under government protection falls victim to harm. If such incidents occur even in institutions under government purview, the government must take responsibility and resign."
Another protester said, "If such an incident happens, whether it is a member of the DMK or a close associate of Udhayanidhi Stalin, strict action should be taken against the officers who have leaked a very sensitive document to that private person. Action should be taken against them and the situation of women's students in Tamil Nadu needs to be strengthened by providing safety to them."
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women (NCW) dispatched a two-member fact-finding committee to Chennai to investigate the alleged sexual assault of a 19- 19-year-old student at Anna University. The committee, formed on Saturday, arrived in the city on Sunday evening to probe the incident.
