Students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University went on a strike Monday to demand release of the students’ union President Kanhaiya Kumar even as ABVP criticized teachers for supporting anti-national elements.
Kumar was arrested on Friday and charged with sedition and criminal conspiracy for allegedly raising slogans that called for India’s doom and celebrated convicted terrorist Afzal Guru. Kumar has vehemently denied all allegations.
On Saturday teachers and students launched ‘Save JNU’ campaign against what they alleged was a ‘witch-hunt’ against students and demanded release of Kumar. Sunday saw teachers and students form a ‘human chain’ demanding the release of Kumar and that the Delhi Police be asked to leave from the campus.
