Amid the row over "anti-India" slogans at JNU and Jadavpur University, Punjb Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today said he has demanded strict action against those involved in pro-Khalistan propaganda on social media.
"Recently I met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. This matter also came up and I have demanded strict action against such elements. We won't allow any disturbance to be spread in the state," he told reporters here.
The Akali Dal leader however evaded a question on the JNU issue saying, "I do not know the details."
He condemned the attacks on Hindu religious leaders in the state and said the matter is being watched closely.
"The culprits would be behind the bars very soon," he said.
