Protesters hurl shoes at Kanhaiya during his speech in Hyderabad university

Hyderabad: A protester threw slipper on Jawaharlal Nehru University Student’s Union president Kanhaiya Kumar  in seminar at Hyderabad University. “Anti-nationals like Kanhaiya should not be allowed to speak,” the protester shouted before the police took him away. The bid was foiled as organisers rushed to protect the Union president.

Kanhaiya is on a two-day visit to Hyderabad and Vijayawada, nearly three weeks after coming out on bail in the JNU sedition case.
On Wednesday evening, Kumar was not allowed to enter the HCU campus where he was scheduled to address students agitating over the suicide of the Dalit scholar in January, 2016.

In the press conference, Kanhaiya said universities are centres to promote “critical thinking”. “here is an allegation that we are doing politics. Are we doing politics or is the government is doing politics? (It) has a pre-planned script to destroy autonomy of universities. The precise work of universities, intellectuals is to promote critical thinking,” he further added
