JNU row: 15-year-old challenges Kanhaiya Kumar to open debate

Ludhiana: A 15-year-old girl, who was awarded for her contribution to ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’, yesterday criticised Jawaharlal Nehru University students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar, who got bail three weeks after being arrested on sedition charges, and challenged him for an open debate on freedom of expression.

“What Kanhaiya ji said about Prime Minister Modi wasn’t appreciable at all. Instead of criticising the Prime Minister, he should have said something on those who raised anti-national slogans in the campus,” said teenager Jhanvi Behal.


“There have been reports
of anti-India slogans being raised in Jawaharlal Nehru University. I want to ask him as to why there is no check in the university, but on the contrary he is criticising Prime Minister Modi,” she added.

Jhanvi has raised several public issues in the past, including the matter of road blockage of various organizations which she had taken to the court. Recently, she had filed a writ petition in the high courts of Punjab and Haryana against adult movies and pornographic content on social networking websites.
