"Members of BJYM will gherao Rahul during his Lucknow visit on Thursday if he does not apologies for supporting anti-national elements," BJP's city president Mukesh Sharma said.
Activists of BJYM burnt an effigy of the Congress leader in front of the Vidhan Bhawan.
A number of BJP activists gathered in front of Vidhan Sabha and burnt the effigy of Rahul Gandhi alleging he was "supporting anti-national elements" involved in the JNU row.
He said that BJP would continue to raise issues of national interest and "expose" those involved in anti-national activities.
Rahul had yesterday accused the NDA government of "suppressing" students' voice as he visited the JNU campus to express solidarity with them, a day after the arrest of its students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.
The Congress Vice President, who had accused the Modi government of "bullying" the institution, scaled up the attack, saying "most anti-national are people, who are suppressing the voice of students in this institution".
