New Delhi: A new complaint has been lodged against Jawaharlal Nehru students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar for his controversial comments against Indian Army. BJP’s youth wing filed the complaint for his remarks at a student’s gathering on women’s day.
At the gathering, Mr. Kumar said, “No matter how much you try to stop us, we will speak up against human rights violations. We will raise our voice against AFSPA. While we have a lot of respect for our soldiers, we will still talk about the fact that in Kashmir women are raped by security personnel.”
“During war in Rwanda 1000 women were raped. In Africa during the ethnic conflict, when military attacks other group firstly their women were raped. You take example of Gujarat, women were not just killed but were raped first,” he added.
A police officer said, “We have received the complaint and the matter is being looked into. No FIR has been registered yet”.
A BJYM statement said, “Despite the submission of an undertaking before court, Kanhaiya has yet again addressed a gathering of students and uttered poisonous words against the Indian Army, labelling them as rapists of Kashmiri Women.”
The statement added, “JNU professor Nivedita Menon has been spewing hatred against the Indian Armed Forces in public meetings as well. She made statements like it is recognized worldwide that India is illegally occupying Kashmir.” When contacted, Menon said, “I don’t believe anything I said was anti-national”.
Kanhaiya’s All India Students Federation (AISF) said, “He made the remarks in context of atrocities on women worldwide and not just in Kashmir. He in no way meant to demean Army or any other force and he clarified that in his speech too”.
