MHA seeks report pro-Afzal sloganeering in Jadavpur University

The Ministry of Home Affairs has asked a report from West Bengal government over the raising of slogans supporting Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru and demands for "azadi" in Jadavpur University on Tuesday.

In solidarity with students of JNU who were charged with sedition last week for making anti-national statements at a meeting on 9 February to protest the hanging of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, students of Jadavpur University in Kolkata on Tuesday afternoon held a pro-Afzal Guru rally. The students also made pro-Ishrat Jahan statements and anti-Hindutva statements such as "Modi ka Hindutva nahi sahenge, Modi ke Brahmangiri nahi sahenge."
