During the meeting that lasted 15 minutes, Kejriwal voiced concern over the prevailing atmosphere at the institution arising out of an event to protest against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.


The President of JNU Students' Union, Kanhaiya Kumar, was arrested following that event.
