“As a citizen of this country, I cannot afford such sloganeering,” said Annie. “We demand that action should be taken against anyone raising anti-national slogans, including my daughter. There should be no compromise on that,” she added.
“Police should conduct an impartial inquiry and find out who raised such a slogan, and take action,” she demanded.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh yesterday said that the government would take strict action against the JNU students, who raised anti-India slogans.

“If anyone raises anti-India slogans and tries to raise question on nation’s unity and integrity, they will not be spared. Stringent action must be taken against those who raised anti-India slogans in JNU,” he added.

JNU Students Union president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested on Friday over a protest organized in the JNU campus on February 9 against the hanging of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. He was arrested on sedition charges.
