On Monday, the foreign minster said that the university is not a home to ‘tukde tukde’ gang, at least when he was a student.
“I can certainly tell you, when I studied in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), we didn’t see any ‘tukde tukde’ gang there”, the union minister said while releasing a book in New Delhi.
The students and teachers of the university was attacked by a group masked goons on Sunday night. Around 28 students suffered serious injury in the attack. The JNSU accused that ABVP is behind the attack. The attack against students of JNU has ignited nationwide protest by students.
