JNU row: Chetan Bhagat trolled for saying 'Every dog that barks need not be arrested'

New Delhi, Feb 17: The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) controversy refuses to die down as on Tuesday author Chetan Bhagat was trolled on Twitter after he expressed his views on the incident. Reactions of the Twitterati shows that his tweets on the issue were not really liked by many.

Bhagat in his tweets said that students who protested for a ‘terrorist' are indeed ‘anti-nationals'. He while tweeting said, "Every dog that barks need not be arrested. What they did was wrong, but sedition charges bit too much."

He further went on to tweet about the issue and said:

Terrorists take innocent lives. No justification or sympathy for their actions. If you do support them, you are anti-national. Period.

The best part of JNU is Ganga Dhabha. The rest is not to be taken seriously.

Making anti-India slogans was a mistake. Full blown police crackdown bigger mistake. Using that to hurt budget session, the biggest mistake.

Modi hate can blind you to the point that you can even tacitly support anti-India protestors.

If JNU management had kept their students in check,this day would not have come. Trying to be cool-alternative-lefties, they're loonies now.

It could. But one doesn't justify the other. If both sides blind, nothing ever gets solved. Great for media tho! https://t.co/9by4iw4cYZ

Chetan Bhagat thinks taxpayer money is wasted in student politics? Was taxpayer money in IIT and IIM supposed to make a third rate author?
