A case has been registered at the  Saroornagar police station in Ranga Reddy district of Telangana against All India Congress Committee (AICC) vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Sitram Yechury and Arvind Kejriwal over the issue of Kanhaiya Kumar.

Kanhaiya Kumar is a student leader of All India Student Federation (AISF), the student wing of Communist Party of India (CPI). He was arrested and charged with sedition.


On Saturday, BJP's youth wing today protested outside the Congress office with its president and party MP Anurag Thakur alleging that the opposition party was standing against the nationalist forces over the JNU row.

"The Congress-led UPA headed by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh supported Ishrat Jahan when it was in power and it is now standing against the nationalist forces in JNU. Rahul Gandhi should decide if he is with the nationalist forces or anti-nationalist forces," Thakur said addressing protestors.
