Referring to violence inside Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, Union Miniser Smriti Irani on Monday said campuses should not be made a "political battlefield".
"I had said it earlier and reiterating it now that educational institutions should not be made 'rajiniti ka akhada' (political battlefield) as it affects the life and progress of our students," Irani told reporters here when asked about the violence in the campus.
"I hope students will not be used as 'rajnitik mohre' (political tools)", the Amethi MP said.
"A probe has started in the matter and it is not justified for me to comment on it as I am in a constitutional post," she added.
