No attackers to be spared, says Rajnath

Last Updated 24 February 2016, 19:25 IST

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said no one involved in the attack on journalists and JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar in a court here will be spared.

Intervening in a debate on the incidents with reference to Jawaharlal Nehru University and Hyderabad Central University, Singh said the government will also ensure that no innocent student is harassed. However, he reminded that individual freedom has its limit.
On the unruly behaviour of lawyers in Patiala House court complex, he said the police is investigating the matter. “No one will be spared,” he said.

Speaking after a spirited defence of the government by HRD Minister Smriti Irani, he said the NDA government does not consider the JNU as a centre of anti-nationals as some have alleged. He remembered the university has gifted so many illustrious students to politics, education sector and government.

On the row over charging students with sedition, he said there was no need for them to discuss the issue. The government is not intervening in the investigations by the police, he said.
