How can a mother punish children on biased reports and doctored videos: Kanhaiya

May 08, 2016 19:18

JNU students union president Kanhaiya Kumar, who is out on bail in a sedition case, today wrote an open letter to HRD Minister Smriti Irani on occasion of Mother's Day and asked how can a "mother" punish her children on basis of biased probe reports and doctored videos.

Referring to the university investigation report of the controversial February 9 event during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised, Kanhaiya, who has been attacking Irani for her reference to all students as her children, said in the letter, "we are trying hard to study in the warmth of your motherly love.

Under your reign, we are learning how to study despite police canes and hunger". In an open letter with sarcastic overtones, the 29-year-old researcher referred to Irani as "anti-rational" mother of "anti-nationals" and extended her Mother's day wishes on behalf of students.
