political activity inside their universities irrespective of their
party belonging.
At the meeting with the representatives of the students' councils the

`No one wants our party position reinforce more than I do, but the
ministry controls those who do more harm than good,' he said.

the student of its right to have political preferences, urging to be
engaged in such activities outside of educational establishments.
Asked whether going to university with a party's badge is a violation
or not, the minister said it is not, adding that he goes to ministry
with RPA's badge.
