We've been hearing a great deal about this guy Kanhaiya Kumar repeatedly over TV, radio and print but frankly I think he's another media sensation. Many are projecting him as the next big name in politics, going as far as comparing him to Narendra Modi and A B Vajpayee. Agreed that his oratory skills are great, but it doesn't help if his topic of choice is anti-national.
The fact that he was part of a so called cultural event, which had a strong anti-national sentiment is good enough to raise suspicion about the character. When I say anti-national I specifically mean anti-India. Not like how many have skewered this whole national pride thing to BJP. It's of great importance that every citizen love his / her country, there is no two ways about it in any nation across the world, so why attribute this to BJP.
Coming back, our great Kanhaiyah Kumar becomes an overnight hero, and for what? For being part of a cultural evening which on it's propaganda posters raised issues about afzal guru, talking about India creating problems in Kashmir? Breaking up and dividing India? How do you justify that? If you didn't shot anti India slogans or didn't super any of the topics of that days event, then why the hell were you there? What stops you from denouncing those statements, what stops you from stating your stand on those topics clearly?
All said, we should not encourage such people influence the youth who can easily be misguided by such anti-national elements.
