The student organiser of the Mahishasura event at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Anil Kumar on Friday accused Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani of “lying” and “denied” that the statement she quoted in Parliament was not “released” by him or his colleagues.
“The pamphlet that Smriti Irani was reading in Parliament on Wednesday was not written by me or any of my mates. The pamphlet she is seen holding in the speech is a colourful one which is never used in any JNU protest due to high printing costs. It is a fake document and the Minister is lying,” said Anil Kumar, who was a PhD student at the varsity when the event took place in 2014.
