BJP’s Shatru on JNU row: JNUSU president Kanhaiya has said nothing anti-national

New Delhi, Feb 17: Actor turned BJP politician Shatrughan Sinha, who is not on good terms with BJP presently after being sidelined in recent Bihar elections, has said that JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar has done nothing anti-national or against constitution.

Sinha took Twitter to express his views on ongoing JNU row.

In a series of tweets posted on Wednesday, Shatrughan even wished for Kanhaiya Kumar's early release.

On the night of February 9, some students organised a meet at JNU to mourn the hanging of parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front co-founder Maqbool Bhat. Anti-India slogans were allegedly raised at the gathering.

Delhi Police registered a sedition case on last week against Kanhaiya Kumar.

Have heard transcript of speech of Kanhaiya, our Bihar boy president of JNUSU. He has said nothing anti national or against constitution.

JNU is going through a crisis for reasons best known to politicians. It is an institution of international repute, enviable record &history.

It is a seat of learning for some of India's brightest young minds & also some very respectable teachers. Save it from further embarrassment

We need to be very cautious while making sweeping statements maligning an institution. They are our own children and our own students.

If students, teachers or politicians make accusations, they need to be prepared to substantiate them with hard facts that they can stand by.
