Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju has said the JNU cannot be allowed to be a hub of anti-national activities. Replying to media queries in New Delhi a day after arrest of JNU students leader Kanhaiya Kumar over the charges of sedition, Mr. Rijiju said this is an unfortunate incident, but the students are not small kids who don’t know what they do.
He said in the name of freedom of speech one can’t abuse the nation. The Minister also said freedom of expression cannot be absolute and unqualified and reasonable restriction has to be there.
Mr. Rijiju added Delhi Police action came as per available inputs and no one should politicise the issue of national interests. He also alleged that JNU students are encouraged by some political parties.
The JNU students union president was arrested in connection with an event organised on the campus against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.
