Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar came down heavily on a British daily on Monday for referring to the masked mob that attacked JNU students and teachers as "nationalists" and asked it to stop predicting India's disintegration at every opportunity.

In a series of tweets slamming the British daily, Javadekar said, "I know it's a bit too much for you to understand India, but here's an effort: Stop predicting the breaking apart of India at every possible chance you get. India is a diverse democracy and it has always assimilated all differences to emerge stronger."
Tagging the British daily, he said in another tweet: "Technologists across the world would be eager to get the tech possessed by you, which helps decipher that a masked mob is 'nationalist'. Also, all universities & institutions in our country are secular."
