New Delhi, Feb 12 (IBNS): Union Human Resource and Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani on Friday condemned protesters who raised anti-India slogans in the JNU premises and said any insult to India in any form would not be tolerated.

Speaking to reporters, Irani said: "Any insult to Mother India will not be tolerated."

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has promised severe consequences for those raising anti India slogans in the JNU premises.
Singh took to Twitter to express his anguish.

He wrote, "If anyone shouts anti India slogan & challenges nation's sovereignty & integrity while living in India, they will not be tolerated or spared."

"Whatever has happened in JNU is extremely unfortunate. I have instructed Delhi CP to take strong action against the anti-India elements," Singh wrote.

Delhi Police reported an incident of anti India slogans being heard within the JNU campus. A case of sedition and criminal conspiracy was registered by them on Thursday evening.

The slogans were a part of protest, marking the hanging of fringe leader Afzal Guru, prime accused in the 2001 Parliament attack who was hanged in 2014.

BJP lawmaker Mahesh Guru, who reported the incident was quoted by NDTV as saying, "Students are supposed to be the future of the country. Am scared of our future now."
