Naxals not only from JNU, some from IIT too: Mishra

New Delhi: Rebel Aam Aadmi Party MLA Kapil Mishra has said Pulwama attacker Adil Ahmad Dar is believed to have become a terrorist after he was hit by police, and if a slap can turn a person into terrorist, Delhi chief minister Arvind Keriwal would have become Osama bin Laden.

Addressing a public meeting organised by the RSS-backed ABVP’s Jawaharlal Nehru University unit on Tuesday, Mr Mishra took a dig at the chief minister, saying Naxals and communists not only come outof JNU but also from IIT.

“Some people are saying that Pulwama-attack accused Adil Ahmad Dar became terrorist after he was slapped by police. If a slap can make you a terrorist then Kejriwal would have become Osama bin Laden,” he said.

In run up to the Lok Sabha polls of 2014, Kejriwal was slapped in three separate incidents by some men.

Taking on Left-backed students’ unions in the campus, Mishra said Communism has ended across the world but there are some people who are still clinging on to it. “They are museums.”

“You are fighting a battle to restore the prestige of JNU which has got the tag of anti-national. But communists, Naxals do not come out only of JNU. Some also come out of IIT and I am fighting one such Naxal,” he said, taking a dig at Mr Kejriwal.
