Someone has just put up on twitter, a purported list of 29 slogans raised by JNU students. you can see it here.
If true, some of those slogans should not have been used. But these are slogans only - not violent action. Similar slogans are raised in kashmir many times a year. Should sedition charges be applied in Kashmir or should the people there be talked to ?
Whereas the Jat agitators (and countless other agitators throughout our land, at other points of time) have caused a large no. of deaths by their actions, denied the poor their daily wage for days, put ordinary people through great difficulty by blocking roads, and caused enormous damage to public and private property.
By these actions were the Jat agitators reaffirming their faith in the Indian constitution ? Instead their actions remind me of those of the Muslim league in Pre-Independence India which engineered violence across large swathes to force the hand of the British and the Congress to create Pakistan. So it is the violent Jat agitaor who is following the footsteps of those who divided India. But BJP has no qualms about appeasing them... after spending decades whipping passions against appeasement !
