The accused of sedition, released on bail,
Kanhaiya Kumar, the president of JNU, was compared with martyr Bhagat Singh by the
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor who saying so is in trouble. The party leaders
are contradicted his statement. Ghulam Nabi Azad the senior leader of congress
has said that Bhagat Singh cannot be compared with youth of nowadays.
Ghulam Nabi Azad, distanced from the statement
of Tharoor, said that it might be his own opinion. The congress leader Bhim
Afzal has also said that this can be own thinking. That the time of Bhagat Singh was different
is not correct so to compare nowadays. As the matter came in light, the
political uproar started. Meanwhile Mr Tharoor in his clarification said that
having taken the thinking of both, Bhagat Singh and Kanhaiya Kumar, he had
stated so.
The BJP dubbed it degrading of martyr Bhagat
Singh. Mr Shahnawaz Hussain, the BJP leader, targeted the congress and said, “Mr.
Tharoor looked whose glimpse in Sonia-Rahul should also tell now. The BJP
leader Anant Kumar said that Mr. Shashi Tharoor only can give such
statement."
Shashi tharoor had said
addressing the student in JNU on Sunday evening that Kanhaiya Kumar is the
Bhagat Singh of nowadays. Bhagat Singh
was a young man in his 20s with Marxist beliefs who had great passion for
motherland. Kanhaiya has same qualities in common.
Kanhaiya Kumar, targeting the Modi Government in
a program organized by a news channel, had said that if the government resorted
the path of English rule, he would act like Bhagat Singh.
