A speech made by JNU students' union president, Kanhaiya Kumar, sometime before his arrest for sedition on Friday is creating buzz.
A Delhi court has sent him to a three-day police custody on the charge he was part of a group that shouted anti-India slogans.
In the video, Kanhaiya Kumar is seen speaking nonstop for 20 minutes trashing the charge that JNU is anti-national.
He swears by the constitution as written by Ambedkar, attacks ABVP for bigotry and casteism.
Kanhaiya Kumar pulls out his mobile phone and says he is getting messages abusive of his mother and sister and points out that ABVP worships India as a mother goddess.
Kanhaiya Kumar's mother is an anganwadi worker, who makes Rs 3,000 a month.
He also rebuts the charge that JNU has become an anti-national den supported by tax payers money.
Kanhaiya Kumar, a third year PhD scholar, had lost the Councillor seat twice earlier. He won the election dramatically last year by flooring everyone at the presidential debate with his oratory.
From, Begusarai, Bihar, Kanhaiya Kumar did his graduation from College of Commerce in Patna, and has been a part of AISF for a long time.
