Anti-national activities increasing in all Indian universities: MB Puranik

Mangaluru, Feb 29: BJP youth forum spokesperson Nupur Sharma has accused politicians of non-communal parties of supporting anti-nationals for raising voice against charging JNU students with sedition.

At a programme by the Rashtriya Jagriti Samiti at the Town Hall in the city on Monday she said that lecturers and students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University shouted slogans demanding separation of Kashmir. Politicians who support these traitors are also traitors, she said, adding, Afzal Guru was executed with the consent of the President of India.

“Difference of opinion is not sedition. The Congress party charged hundreds of people with sedition for long. Now, when JNU?student leader Kanhaiya Kumar and his followers are accused of sedition, AICC Vice President Rahul Gandhi is opposing it. He has also shied away from a discussion in the Parliament,” she said.

Out of panic, many political parties are opposing the nation and the ruling. Some media who are working for the Congress party, are misleading the entire nation, Nupur said.

She said that the incident at the JNU came to light as there is a new Central government and a new Vice Chancellor at the JNU. “Otherwise, the issue would have been buried. Where was the intolerance by the Congress when there were bomb blasts in the nation,” she questioned.

Asha, wife of soldier Nagesh, who died at Siachen, said her husband has sacrificed his life for the nation, and every person should fight for the nation.

VHP?leader M B?Puranik said that the tendency to disrespect the nation and carry out anti-national activities is increasing in all universities in the country. Brigadier I N Rai asked, if the police cannot arrest anti-national students at JNU, how could people like Dawood Ibrahim and Syed Hafiz be arrested.

A book on the controversy in JNU was released. Financial assistance was given to Asha. A rally preceded the function.
