Mangalore, Feb 4: The local unit of Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP) staged a protest here on Saturday February 4 demanding the arrest of union home minister P Chidambaram over his alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam.

Hundreds of students who took part in the protest formed a human chain at Basaveshwara circle near KPT to express their demands.

Vinay Horatti, organizing secretary of ABVP city unit addressed the protestors and said that Chidambaram, who has allegedly played a prime role in the 1.76 lac crore 2G spectrum scam, should be made to resign and be put behind bars.

"There is no doubt that besides Chidambaram, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh too was party to the scam. The evidences gathered so far have all pointed to Chidambaram's involvement," he said.

He further demanded that Chidambaram should be immediately relieved of his post and taken into custody.

"There can be no impartial investigation into the case as long he continues to occupy the post of union minister. Therefore, he must resign and the CBI should take custody of him for interrogation," Horatti added.

Among those present were ABVP members Bindu Madhav, Ravi, Aneesh, Mitel, Yathishkumar, P Ullas and others.
