JNU, a den of intellectual terrorism: Sakshi Maharaj

Etah (UP), Feb 16: Controversial BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj today said police should act against Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi and CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury for "supporting anti-national protest" at JNU, while terming the prestigious university as a "den of intellectual terrorism".

He also asked the Centre to "monitor" activities of Gandhi. "The Centre should monitor activities of Rahul Gandhi.

As far as JNU is concerned it has become den of intellectual terrorism and it is need of the hour to keep a tab on it. The university can also be closed for some time," he told PTI. "The anti-national activities should be curbed otherwise the situation will go out of control," he said.

Defending police action against JNU students' Union chief Kanhaiya Kumar, who has been charged with sedition, he said, "similar action should be taken against those including Rahul Gandhi, D Raja, Sitaram Yechuri who are supporting anti-national protest."

"Supporting Afzal Guru was an attack on Supreme Court and the country and government should also initiate a CBI probe to find who are behind it", he added.
