Anyone raising anti-India slogans will face stringent action: Rajnath
February 12, 2016
New Delhi
Talking tough, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today warned of “strongest possible” action against those involved in raising anti-India slogans at an event in JNU campus here, saying such activities will not be tolerated.
“If anyone raises anti-India slogans, tries to raise questions on country’s unity and integrity, they will not be spared. Stringent action will be taken against them,” he told reporters here.
The Home Minister said he asked the Delhi Police to take “strongest possible action” against those who were allegedly involved in anti-India acts in Jawaharlal Nehru University campus recently.
A radical left-wing group of students on Tuesday held an event on the JNU campus and shouted slogans against India over the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru in 2013.
One of their slogans was ‘Bharat Ki Barbadi Tak Jung Rahengi Jung Rahengi.’
The event occurred despite varsity administration having cancelled the permission following a complaint by ABVP members, who termed the activity as “anti-national”.
Delhi Police yesterday registered a case of sedition in connection with the event following complaints by BJP MP Maheish Girri and ABVP.
