But is the fault with our media or is the media only mirroring our government’s priorities? Well, it is true that the government and its top ministers have taken the seditious students of JNU a tad bit seriously. The state apparatus has been swift in preventing the division of Bharat Mata by a handful of sloganeering students and butt in on what was essentially a spat among student parties in JNU. Everyone from Union Minister of Human Resource and Development Smriti Irani to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to Bharatiya Janta Party President Amit Shah to Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju has had something to say on this. The result: JNU student union president Kanhaiya Kumar has been in police custody for the last 15 days and Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya for more than a day.
