Bahraich, Feb 24 (IBNS): BJP President Amit Shah asked Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi to clarify his stand on the issue of 'anti-national' slogans and whether it should be tolerated in the name of freedom of speech.

"I will like Rahul Gandhi to clarify to people of this country whether he supports the anti-national slogans."

"If not then he should condemn it," he said.

"Rahul Gandhi don't stoop so low only for vote bank politics," he said.

Shah targeted Gandhi and said he was supporting forces who are dividing the country in the name of freedom of speech.

The issue of anti-India slogans being raised in the JNU campus has triggered a political debate across the nation.

Debating over the JNU row in the Lok Sabha and the suicide of Rohit Vermula, Congress leader Jyotiraditya  Scindia on Wednesday tried to corner the government and said blacklisting the premiere university of 8,000 students for the actions of 8 students is 'unacceptable'.

"It is not acceptable that a university of 8,000 students blacklisted for the actions of 8 students," Scindia said.

Attacking the Centre, he said: "Union government and ministers are trying to encroach into varsities."

He said: "The government has the mindset of damaging people who hold different mindset from them."

Gandhi joined agitating student in the JNU recently.
