Scores of people, including political activists, were today administered on oath to respect and protect the country and the Constitution by BJP here as part of its three-day campaign 'Jan Swabhimaan Abhiyan' aimed at building up public opinion against the alleged anti-national activities in JNU.
Addressing a gathering at Patel Chowk, BJP's Delhi in-charge Shyam Jaju alleged "some political parties are trying to "appease" the "anti nationals and terrorists".
"Encouraging sedition and separatism is a burning issue and the entire country should condemn it because some political parties are trying to appease the anti nationals and terrorists," he said.
Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay also demanded all the political parties to condemn the JNU event where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised.
JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar was booked for sedition charge and arrested by the police.
