Students from JNU and ‘Tata Institute of Social Sciences’ involved in terrorist activities

A shocking revelation by the National Investigation Agency about the arrested accused in the case of urban Naxalism !

Editorial comment

• Students of JNU and Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who raised anti-India slogans and supported the accused involved in Naxal activities, are also anti-national. The investigative agencies should thoroughly investigate the matter and break the backbone of the anti-national forces.

Mumbai – ‘The accused in the case of urban Naxalism wanted to form their Government and hence, they declared a war on the nation to overthrow the existing Government. They intended to create fear in the minds of the citizens by using explosives. To achieve this, they had started involving students of reputed universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Tata Institute of Social Sciences in the terrorist activities, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said in a draft of the allegations filed in the Special Court. They have also been accused of planning to wage a war against the Centre and the Maharashtra Government.
