The ABVP, on whose complaint a case of sedition was filed against Amnesty International India in Bengaluru, led a protest by school children outside Raj Bhavan (Bengaluru) on August 14 to demand the arrest of the participants and organisers of the “Broken Families” event.
“We want Amnesty International banned,” said ABVP general secretary Vinay Bidre.
