BJP leaders target Opposition, Left for JNU violence
New Delhi/UNI: Union Ministers and BJP leaders on Monday slammed at political detractors and especially the Congress and the Leftists for inciting violence in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus.
"I do not know where these baam-panthi (Leftists) want to take the JNU," BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh said in reference to the violence in the country's premier varsity campus.
"These Leftist students are defaming JNU as they have turned the University into a centre of hooliganism," he said.
Another BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani said, "Investigation into what led to violence has begun, so it will not be right to speak on it now."
"But I have said this earlier also....Universities should not be turned into hubs of politics, neither should students be used as political pawns," said Ms Irani, who also served as Union HRD MInister between May 2014 and July 2016.
