Monday’s fiasco was a culmination of the debate between Sinha and principal IS Bakshi regarding the suspension of the newly-elected president of the college. Rohan Awana, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad member and a first-year student of B.A. (H) Sanskrit, was suspended from the post of president of the college on September 18—just one week after the elections—owing to violation of several rules of the Election Code of Conduct, as per a notice issued by the college authorities. He was accused of violating Points 2, 9, 16 and 19 of the Code of Conduct: that his age was not as required, that he did not submit complete and audited accounts to the college/university authorities, that he/his supporters engaged in defacement of college properties, and that the college may take disciplinary action against such a violator or choose to cancel his candidature.
