The BJP-backed National Democratic Teachers’ Front (NDTF) has demanded that the probe into the February 9 incident on the JNU campus that triggered a political storm, be conducted “impartially”.
The members of NDTF submitted a memorandum, signed by about 1,000 teachers of Delhi University, to President Pranab Mukherjee.
“What happened in JNU on February 9 cannot be condoned on the pretext of freedom of speech and freedom of dissent. Anti-India slogans were openly raised by seditious elements for the destruction and division of India, for secession of Kashmir and in favour of terrorists who were awarded death sentence by the Supreme Court after a prolonged judicial process.
“We urge you to intervene and issue appropriate orders to the authorities concerned for an impartial probe into the happenings of Feb 9. Guilty should not be spared and should be severely punished but no innocent should be implicated,” said the memorandum.
