Please do not call my son a 'terrorist': Kanhaiya's mother

February 14, 2016 14:42

"Please do not call my son a terrorist," says JNUSU President Kanhaiya's mother as she breaks down while watching the news flashes on TV at a

neighbour's house in Bihar's Begusarai district.

"We are constantly watching TV after we got to know that Kanhaiya has been arrested. I hope police does not beat him too much. He has never disrespected his parents, forget the country. Please do not call my son a terrorist. He cannot be one," his mother Meena Devi told PTI over phone from Bihar.

Meena, an Anganwadi worker who earns Rs 3,500 per month, says she and her eldest son Manikant are the sole bread-winners for the family as her 65-year-old husband has been bedridden for seven years due to paralysis.

Kanhaiya's father Jaishankar Singh, who was a farmer, said his son is being framed into the case for opposing Hindutva politics.
