Home Minister Rajnath Singh's statement that the JNU event had received "support" from terror outfit LeT founder Hafiz Saeed was based on inputs from "different agencies", a Home Ministry spokesperson said today.

"Statement of the Home Minister is based on the inputs available from different agencies," a Home Ministry spokesperson said without elaborating.

Earlier in the day, the Home Minister said in Allahabad that the event on JNU campus in Delhi against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru had received "support" from Saeed, a statement that sparked a political row with opposition parties asking him to provide evidence.
