New Delhi: Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi has termed as “crime” the February 9 event held at the Jawaharlal Nehru University against the hanging of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and claimed the issue was blown out of proportion because it was “politicised”.
“If you ask me on the JNU incident, it is nothing but a breach of law. JNU incident was a crime. That’s it. The whole issue became overblown because it was politicised and then police was expected to go easy,” Bedi said.
The former policewoman was speaking at an event organised by CII Young India here which was attended by Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen and transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi.
Referring to both the JNU issue as well as the recent Jat agitation in Haryana, the 66-year-old BJP member said the Indian law had “weakened” over time and had become flexible and that it was imperative to “reverse the trend.”
“There has been weakening of the rule of law over a period. We have brought it to a very ‘lachkila’ flexible level where it should not be. So we are to reverse the trend. As a nation, India must start respecting rule of law and accept no compromises, whoever it may be – high or low,” she said. (PTI)
