Amid raging political row over the JNU issue, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and other grand secular alliance leaders mounted an attack on the BJP and RSS for raising the issue in a bid to hide Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s failures on economic front.
Criticising the BJP for levelling charges of sedition on JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar, Mr Kumar said, “So far, they have not been able to come up with proper evidence against him”. “The BJP and RSS were trying to “enforce their ideology in JNU”. The BIhar chief minister had earlier termed the incident as “a design by the RSS”.
“This was done only to enforce their ideology in the campus as there are very less number of students who believe in the ideology of the RSS,” Mr Kumar said on Friday.
Mr Kumar also criticised the Centre for not providing enough security to Mr Kumar while being produced in Patiala house courts. He said that the Union home ministry or the police has not yet produced evidences against Mr Kumar to prove that the sedition charges levelled against him were true. “The home ministry or the Delhi police must show evidences to prove their point,” he said, adding that “the attack on Kanhaiya in court premises in the presence of the police shows that there is jungle raj in Delhi.”
Mounting a blistering attack on the BJP and RSS leaders, he said, “They are trying to portray that those who don’t follow their ideology are not nationalist. I want to say here that people of other political parties don’t need certificate of nationalism from them”.
He also questioned the BJP for meeting an independent MLA and sympathiser of Afzal Guru in Jammu.
“They should explain why BJP leaders had met Afzal Guru sympathiser, seeking support to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir. Was it nationalism ” he said.
