Punishing anti-nationals

Published on: 

This refers to the report, “JNU students’ leader on police remand” (February 13). Educational institutes are places where students come to learn and not to play petty politics. The less said the better about the anti-national activities carried out by some students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University.

In Pakistan, a cricket fan, who raised the Indian flag in his house, in support of India’s Test team captain Virat Kohli, was booked for anti-national activity and faces imprisonment for 10 years.

It is unfortunate that we do not have any set of laws to punish anti-nationals. If found guilty, the students who raised anti-national slogans at the JNU should be sentenced for sedition.
