BJP on target over a disputed advertisement

After a complaint made by Jamia VC, Mushirul Hasan to election commission of India, BJP has defended its stand to issue the anti-Jamia ads in a section of media..

BJP s Chief Ministerial candidate V K Malhotra has defended BJP and said that "There was nothing wrong in it. We have not said anything wrong,"

Earlier Jamia administration had approached Election Commission against the advertisement put out by the party and claimed it vague and defamatory.
Addressing to media, Malhotra said those involved in terror attacks were being "glamourised" for vote-bank politics which is "very unfortunate".
"Terrorists are being glamourised for vote bank politics. They don’t talk about sacrifice of the police official who laid his life for the country,he added

In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswami, Jamia Vice Chancellor Mushirul Hasan had denied using any funds for defending terror accused and claimed that advertisement was a "deliberate distortion of facts".

"Jamia has not spent a single paisa from its resources on the two students implicated in the Batla House incident," added the Jamia VC in the letter.
The decision to extend legal help was taken as it felt it was their "moral obligation" to protect its students until they are proved guilty, the varsity had said.

Meanwhile an unknown organization, Hussaini Mission has also jumped into the controversy. They can defend Pragya and many others on the religious grounds and we made no objection. Unless and until the allegations are proved an institution has the right to defend its wards. If Jamia won’t we will, said Kamal Hyder, President Hussaini Mission in a press release.
