The slogans raised at JNU must be condemned. Anti India slogans should never be justified. As far as I know Afsal Guru was convicted for being a conspirator of 2002 Parliament attacks in which court had sufficient proofs against him. There is still a debate going on this issue whether those proofs are solid or vague or fabricated. So I am not commenting about that nor do I support anyone treating Afsal Guru as a hero. Akin I can't respect a self proclaimed nationalist government which is led by a party who treats Savarkar and Gotse as a hero.
Coming back to JNU brawl, I don't find any scope for sedition charges on JNUSU President kanhaiya Kumar. He was sincerely on a fight against Hindutva agenda of RSS backed BJP led government. Instead of finding a potent solution government took advantage of the patriotic sentiment and made a vindictive action against him. Why they are not charging sedition on leaders who celebrate Gotse as a nationalist. If government have any true national spirit, why don't they do any fruitful steps to demilitarize Siachien glacier where our soldiers are dying fighting with such an inhospitable terrain.
I hope for a day Ravindra Nath Tagore dreamt of where people won't fight each other, a world with no boundaries, where Love wins hatred.
