A delegation of seven teachers, all members of JNUTA and four JNUSU officials went to meet senior officials of MHRD on Thursday in connection with the violence in JNU.

We will break the BJP, ”Kanhaiya said. The former student leader also said that before 2014 there was no “tukde tukde” government.

Why people standing with him are also called anti-national. Deepika Padukone came to JNU. He did not say anything or name the Prime Minister or Home Minister. She simply met the injured students and left. Immediately, BJP supporters launched a campaign to boycott his film. If he did not name any party or ideology, why would you not watch his film? ”
“It means that they accept government supporters that they were behind the violence in JNU. VC said that great celebrities should meet students who are not able to study. One needs to be reminded that this is his job. He will have to talk to students and teachers. Deepika is not the vice-chancellor of JNU, ”he said.
According to the university administration, two or more student organizations fought on 5 January. “Then why did the violent mob attack the teachers?”
