The fires of Ramjas incident have singed Mumbai and the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) image, has been burnt to a crisp. The student arm of the RSS, "has already been painted and tainted as goondas and thugs," says Mumbai's top brass, Rohit Chandode, ABVP secretary Mumbai Mahanagar and Ashish Chauhan, ABVP's ex-national secretary and the Mahanagar Organising Secretary, from their office in Matunga.
