- article by a JNU student argued), because it is currently ruled by a BJP government with Narendra Modi as Prime Minister.
No one, however, cares to define since when this 20-plus or 30-plus JNU students have become “unintelligent fools” (as this article by a senior Firstpost colleague argues).
Yesterday a purported tweet (withdrawn later by Twitter) by Jamat ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed alarmed intelligence and security agencies.
The 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind allegedly announced to the world that he stood in support of miscreants in JNU and created a hashtag #PakStandsWithJNU, asking his "brothers" to trend it.
The handle used was @HafeezSaeedJUD, but it couldn't be verified if the tweet came from an official handle as it was soon deactivated.
Relax. No one is shutting down JNU.
But the argument that all this was happening at the University for a long time because it has always been a Left bastion and we should not get alarmed by a little seditious behavior because it’s essentially harmless, is specious and should be called out.
This argument takes as axiomatic the belief that this 1000-acre institution should be allowed to follow a certain ideology, however toxic, in perpetuity at a great cost to our taxpayers and that the students shall never be questioned and the laws of the land shall never apply to them.
How cute!
“We are Left, we are students, we have a right to subsidy and thus different laws should be applied to us. The state which questions us is bad, the nation where we live deserves to be dismembered and the government which rules is Hindu Taliban”. If this is the propaganda, it needs to be countered.
One of the prominent protestors gave a sound bite that curtailment of free speech and expression of dissenting views will breed more terrorists.
The so-called liberals have targeted home minister Rajnath Singh for publicly calling the incident in JNU as an anti-national act and for saying that he had asked Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi to take strong action against those behind this incident.
It is the same group of people who cry hoarse and rap the government for any delay in statement by senior ministers or Prime Minister on issues which they on their own decide are of national importance.
Singh was right in speaking out his mind, more so because these pro-Pakistan, anti-India propagandist events have been happening in the national capital. The State’s silence would have come as a huge sign of weakness and, worse, as a manifestation of a soft government.
In the last two days, Singh spoke to Delhi Police chief thrice – Thursday night, Friday morning and Friday evening. Other intelligence agencies have also been roped in to investigate whether this was a standalone event or it had its wires spread over elsewhere and how far.
Finding this as an opportunity to train guns against Modi government, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has come out in support of these students.
He tweeted “No one supports anti-national forces. But targeting innocent students using that as an excuse will prove v costly to Modi govt”.
He has also retweeted some tweets suggesting students’ innocence and critical of Modi government’s police action.
- In videos, he along with others is seen lustily raising anti-India slogans.
