Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday accused the NDA government of intentionally using the JNU incident to ignite passions across the nation to divert attention from crucial issues.
The MP told the media at Darussalam, the party headquarters here, that the nation was facing a tough time due to plummeting value of the Rupee, decreasing exports and increasing tensions.
In this backdrop, the BJP-led NDA government had deliberately created a controversy over the JNU issue to divert public attention, he said.
Union home minister Rajnath Singh did not even verify whether the Twitter account of Hafeez Saeed was fake or real before rushing to say that the terror mastermind was behind the JNU incident, the Hyderabad MP said.
Reminding that the JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar was associated with the Communist party, Mr Owaisi said that though he has ideological differences with the Communists, they could never be considered anti-nationals.
Condemning the attack on journalists in Delhi, he said that the sedition case against JNU student union leader Kanhaiya Kumar would not stand before the court of law in view of judgments’ of Supreme Court in cases against Arundhati Roy, Kedarnath and Binayak Sen and others.
