| The organisers of the events to which Kanhaiya Kumar is called pay for his expenses |
JNUSU leader Kanhaiya Kumar has responded to repeated criticism that despite his talk of poor and social justice, he has been flying around the country giving speeches.
In an interview with India Today, Kanhaiya Kumar has explained why he does not travel by train - to escape from fringe elements, as the extremist elements in the Hindutva brigade are called.
Kanhaiya Kumar, who has emerged as tough challenger to the right wing groups, has been attacked several times and is understandably concerned about his security.
As a recent controversy shows, even travelling by flight brings its share of trouble.
In the same interview, Kanhaiya Kumar also explained, how his trips are funded. The organisers of the events to which he is called pay for his expenses and sometimes students contribute to raise funds.
