Mahishasur event: JNU authenticates documents Irani quoted from

March 01, 2016 20:41

The Jawaharlal today claimed that the pamphlets of the Mahishasur event held in 2014 from which HRD Minister Smriti Irani had quoted in Parliament were "authentic" even as the student organisers had alleged them to be fake.

Irani while giving clarification about her ministry's stringent action on 'Anti-National' forces, had last week read out a pamphlet in Parliament, which the student oranisers of the event later denied having issued alleging that the minister quoted from "half-cooked facts".

"The HRD ministry had asked us to authenticate the documents including pamphlets of the events. We checked the security reports in our records and the pamphlets were found included in them.

The documents were correct according to our records and the same has been conveyed to the ministry," JNU Registrar Bhupinder Zutshi told PTI.

"When the event took place in October 2014, a complaint was also registered in Vasant Kunj police station and the university enquiry committee was also instituted," he said, adding the findings of the probe panel were not known to him as he wasn't holding the position of registrar then.
