New Delhi: The BJP on Friday credited public pressure on Delhi’s AAP government in decision making to grant sanction to prosecute Kanhaiya Kumar and nine others in the 2016 JNU sedition case. The BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal delayed it for three years but was forced to bend in front of the people.
Javadekar in a tweet said “Finally the Delhi government was forced to give permission in the JNU case under public pressure. Arvind Kejriwal kept postponing it but he was forced to bend in front of people for three years,”.
Javadekar in his tweets also mentioned the controversial chants, including the alleged call to break up India and said that justice will prevail now. The BJP leader said those chants were “anti-national”.
