After political leaders, spiritual leader Bhaiyyuji Maharaj has also jumped into JNU row and described as unfortunate the ongoing row over raising of anti-India slogans by group of selected students allegedly owing allegiance to Kashmir separatists at Jawahar lal Nehru university campus recently.
While talking to The Pioneer the spiritual leader said the way group of selected students were allowed to raise anti-India slogans on the hallowed campus of JNU and that too in the presence of university students and students union leaders, will not only help separatists and would strengthen separatists movement in the country but would also give a severe blow to unity, integrity and sovereignty of the country.
In JNU row, what is most unfortunate that our students remained mute spectators to anti-India slogans and did not raise any protest against these traitors of the nation, the spiritual leader said adding that to him indulging in crime and being a part of criminal conspiracy against the country are almost akin to each other, the spiritual leader said. “Freedom of speech as enshrined in our Constitution cannot be bigger than national interest and I am pained to say that the political leaders who in the name of right to freedom of speech and to serve their vested political interest, are giving statements in favour of students who were allegedly a part of criminal conspiracy of anti-India elements at the JNU campus, are even bigger `threat and danger’ to the unity and integrity of the nation than the separatists,” he said.
Expressing his utter displeasure and anguish over the political parties are politicising JNU incident to safeguard their electoral pockets, the spiritual leader said allowing anti-India activities and sedition at these temples of education like JNU and Jadhavpur varsity cannot be accepted and the Central Govt and the States must intervene to prevent recurrences of such incidences in future.
