This refers to the report, “Kanhaiya’s bail rider ‘defang your thought’” (March 3). Students at Jawaharlal Nehru University were celebrating the bail, granted by the Delhi High Court, to their role model and students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar.
These students in general, and the Afzal Guru-friendly gang in particular, should not be ecstatic as the bail is not only interim and conditional, but also carries some caveats.
One of such caveats is that Mr Kumar has been ordered to stay away from anti-national activities and must ensure that no seditious activity takes place on campus.
The concerned judge has rightly lambasted such students who enjoy the liberty of raising anti-national slogans and celebrating the martyrdom of Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru, without realising that they are safe only because of our security forces who are guarding our borders.
If the released student has even an iota of shame over his misadventure, he should resign from the presidentship of the students’ union. But we know that this will not happen.
