Pakistan student union writes letter of solidarity to JNU

February 18, 2016 18:50

For protesters terming the JNU students agitation as 'anti-national', Pakistan has been a recurring subject of verbal venom.

Now, the JNU students have found support from across the border, with a students group issuing a strongly-worded condemnation of the government action against them.

"We strongly condemn the arrest of Kanhaiya Kumar (JNUSU), the attack on JNU and extend our solidarity and lend our entire support to the brave students standing against this injustice," the Democratic Students' Alliance in Pakistan has said in a statement.

The DSA describes itself as an 'informal organisation of left-leaning students who wish to work with the working class to attain progressive changes in Pakistani society'.

Left leader Kavita Krishnan, who posted the message on Facebook, said, "They say they understand what JNU is going through, because they are labelled pro-India and anti-national every time they protest against their government."
