Ramdev to skip JNU Vedanta Congress
December 30, 2015 11:02
Baba Ramdev's visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for a speech during the Vedanta Congress may not materialise as the yoga guru has indicated he will skip the meet.
The development comes a day after the JNU Students' Union expressed its opposition over an invitation to Ramdev for a speech during the valedictory ceremony at the Vedanta Congress on Wednesday.
JNU, however, maintained that there was no cancellation from its side.
Ramdev wrote in a series of tweets: "Me or my office has not confirmed for any talk or event at JNU. I would have surely gone to JNU if time allowed to have candid, scientific & logical discussion, even with my ideological adversaries. I will love to talk to students and faculty at JNU, whenever its possible in near future [sic]."
