AAP leader Kumar Vishwas on Friday urged the central government to take "stern" action against the students who raised anti-India slogans at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus.

"This is high time India as a system sets an example by punishing all those who have shouted/supported anti-India slogans in the JNU," Vishwas tweeted.

"Indian rule of law has set sections against such activities. The GOI (government of India) should take stern action against these anti-national minds," he added.

He advised police to take quick action against those who shouted anti-India slogans in JNU.

"Delhi Police that is often quick to take action against 'set targets' should rather act quick in JNU matter and detain anti-nationals," he tweeted.

 

Students of the JNU on Tuesday organised a meet to mourn the hanging of parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) co-founder Maqbool Bhat, where anti-India slogans were raised.

Another commemorative meeting was held at the Press Club of India in Delhi on Wednesday where anti-India slogans and placards were raised.

Police have arrested president of JNU's students union, Kanhaiya Kumar in a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy.
