Condemning the anti-India sloganeering inside Jadavpur University campus, West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi, today sought a report on the incident from Chief Secretary Basudeb Banerjee and Vice Chancellor Suranjan Das.

"Is there anything to appreaciate or praise, regarding whatever happened there? Any Indian would condemn whatever happened there. I have sought a report regarding the incident from the Vice Chancellor and the Chief Secretary," Tripathi, who is the JU chancellor, told PTI.

Slogans in favour of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru were raised yesterday at a rally which was brought out by JU students to express solidarity with their JNU counterparts agitating against the arrest of their leader Kanhaiya Kumar for alleged sedition.
 

Slogans like "Afzal bole azadi, Geelani bole azadi" and "Cheenke ke lenge azadi" were raised. Other slogans like "Freedom from RSS, freedom from Modi government", "Jab Kashmir ne maangi azadi, Manipur bhi boli azadi" were also raised.

The Centre has sought a report from West Bengal government regarding the incident.
