Case against Kanhaiya Kumar for objectionable statement against army personnel

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha had also filed a complaint in the Vasant Vihar Police Station against Kanhaiya

A case has been registered against JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar in the Kanpur civil court for giving objectionable statement against army personnel.

Speaking at a student's gathering on International Women's Day, Kanhaiya alleged that the Indian Army personnel have committed atrocities against women in Jammu and Kashmir.

"No matter how much you try to stop us, we will speak up against human rights violations. We will raise our voice against AFSPA. While we have a lot of respect for our soldiers, we will still talk about the fact that in Kashmir women are raped by security personnel," Kanhaiya said on Tuesday.

 

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha had on Wednesday filed a complaint in the Vasant Vihar Police Station against Kanhaiya and JNU professor Nivedita Menon, saying they have made 'anti-national' statements in the aftermath of February 9 event in the JNU campus.
