Known for his controversial statements and embarrassing his party, BJP MP, Sakshi Maharaj demanded capital punishment for the students who raised anti-national slogans in Jawaharlal lal Nehru University, Delhi a few days ago.
“Sedition is the biggest crime and those who have raised anti-India slogans should be hanged. The JNU is turning out to be an arena of anti-national activities,” said Sakshi in Etah on Saturday.
Students of the JNU, affiliated to the left students outfits like AISF, SFI and AISA, had organised a programme on the campus on Tuesday to commemorate the hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru. After being accused of harbouring ultras who carried out teh attack on Parliament in 2003, Afzal Guru was sentenced to death which was upheld by Supreme Court.
Some students had raised anti-national slogans during the programme which went viral on social media inviting sharp criticism from the media, civil society and students outfits leading to police action.
