Have heard transcript of speech of Kanhaiya, our Bihar boy president of JNUSU. He has said nothing anti national or against constitution.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Hope wish and pray that he's release soon, sooner the better...

wrote Sinha on Twitter, the platform which he uses frequently to launch attacks against his party.
Kumar is facing sedition charges for allegedly shouting anti-national slogans during an event organised at JNU campus last week to protest the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on his third death anniversary.
As the Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU) row escalated, Sinha also countered the claim by some BJP leaders that the prestigious varsity has become the hub of anti-national activities.
Sinha also said that any accusations in the JNU controversy needed to be substantiated with hard facts.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
If students, teachers or politicians make accusations, they need to be prepared to substantiate them with hard facts that they can stand by.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
JNU is going through a crisis for reasons best known to politicians. It is an institution of international repute, enviable record &amp;history.
