February 27, 2016 23:47

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah disapproved of the event at JNU on the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, saying it has "discredited" the university.

"What was the necessity to bring in Afzal Guru into the campus? Whosoever raised the issue did a wrong thing. He has discredited and brought a bad name to JNU," he said.

He, however, said "had police not been called in, the VC could have controlled the situation... When the issue got ignited, the country was on fire."
