Even as journalists and JNU students union leader Kanhaiya Kumar were again attacked inside the court premises in defiance of Supreme Court order, Javadekar said that any kind of violence was "unacceptable" but the basic trigger is JNU and what happened in Jadavpur University is "unpardonable".
"My first reaction to the first event (sloganeering) which is the trigger of all other happenings. It is about JNU event where some naxalites, some seperatists and students, altogether gave anti-national slogans - Jung Jung chalegi bharat ke barbadi tak (war will go on till India is destroyed).
His remarks come on a day when Kanhaiya Kumar and some journalists were attacked in the court complex here by rowdy lawyers in brazen defiance of the orders of the Supreme Court, which was forced to step in.
Despite instructions by the apex court to ensure security at the Patiala House Court, where violent men in black robes had attacked journalists on Monday, Delhi Police failed to prevent the attack on Kumar, accused of sedition, who was brought for remand proceedings.
