The Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) might have kissed and made up before the elections, but all is not well with their students' councils and it showed in Kalyan on Thursday. Some members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the Yuva Sena clashed at the inauguration of the Mumbai University's Kalyan sub-campus. ABVP members protested against Aaditya Thackeray's participation in the programme and Yuva Sena members beat up one of the protesters.

The dramatic events took place when university Vice-Chancellor Suhas Pednekar's speech was going on. The police intervened and took the trouble-makers out of the hall. The inauguration took place two years after the campus was built and ABVP members were protesting against the university's decision to invite Yuva Sena Chief Thackeray as the chief guest. Around 40 members of the ABVP were detained by the Khadakpada police on Thursday morning for an hour for disrupting the inauguration ceremony.
