Press Trust of India New Delhi
The ABVP unit of JNU today alleged that the organisers of the event on Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on February 9 are spreading "hate" at the campus and urged Vice Chancellor Jagadesh Kumar to take action.

In a letter to Kumar, Saurabh Sharma, the lone ABVP member in JNU students' union said, despite the incidents related to the event being sub-judice, "accused students" have not been refraining from making illegal, anti-national and insensitive remarks.

"Such hatred being propagated by the accused students, will be detrimental to the campus environment keeping in mind the new academic session and the students who will be joining as freshers," Sharma wrote.
 

His comments came a day after Umar Khalid, one of the students charged with sedition, faced flak on social media for a post on militant commander Burhan Wani, who was gunned down by security forces in Kashmir last week.
