Finance Minister Arun Jaitley hit out at the Congress and the Left during the debate on Hyderabad student Rohith Vemula's suicide and the JNU controversy.

-- Vandalism is condemnable and sedition is free speech - nobody can subscribe to this ideology, least the Congress

-- "The core question is, are we going to give respectability to those whose primary ideology is that they want to break this country?"

-- "Can anybody say that their (Maqbool Bhat and Afzal Guru) martyrdom should be celebrated. Let us be very clear about the kind of functions that was organised in HCU and JNU"
