&ldquo;No question of harassment of students. But the guilty will not be spared,&rdquo; he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here. The Home Minister&rsquo;s statement came after a delegation of Left and JD (U) leaders met him demanding release of president of JNU students union Kanhaiya Kumar who was arrested on Friday on charges of sedition in connection with an event organised on the campus against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. Kanhaiya is a member of CPI&rsquo;s student wing All India Student Federation (AISF). Singh had on Friday warned of &ldquo;strongest possible&rdquo; action against those involved in raising anti-India slogans at an event in JNU campus here, saying such activities will not be tolerated.
After meeting the Home Minister, CPI general secretary Sitaram Yechury, who was joined by CPI National Secretary D Raja and JD(U) spokesperson KC Tyagi, alleged that the new Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University was acting on the instructions of the government and allowed the police to go ahead with a &ldquo;crackdown&rdquo;. &ldquo;This is happening across all universities that VCs are being removed and the government is appointing persons who are then acting on their instructions,&rdquo; Yechury said.
