New Delhi: Known for his performances on the 'akhada', ace Indian wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt on Monday took everyone by surprise as he posted a patriotic poem on Twitter.

The Olympic medalist took to Twitter to react to the controversy that erupted last week at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) over holding an event on the campus against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

During the event, anti-India slogans were alleged to have been raised, while denouncing the hanging of Guru.

Subsequently, JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested on sedition charges, following complaints by BJP MP Maheish Girri and ABVP.

Yogeshwar's thoughts were praised by his fans and here are a few reactions:
