New Delhi: Aam Admi Party leader Kapil Mishra has hit out at HRD Minister Smriti Irani's order to hoist the national flag at all Central Universities.
"I just have one question, will Centre hoist the national flag at Kashmir University. After JNU, national flag should be hoisted in Srinagar. Decision to hoist national flag in Central Universities is a good decision. Now we want to know when all the anti-nationals will be arrested?" he tweeted.
The government on Thursday decided to make it mandatory for all central universities to fly the national flag prominently to inculcate a sense of nationalism in campuses.
The official release from the HRD Ministry said the Tricolour should be flown on a 207-feet high mast on their campuses to signify "strong and united" India.
The decision was taken at a meeting of Union HRD minister Smriti Irani with vice chancellors of central universities.
This came at a time when a student leader in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University is under arrest for sedition after anti-India slogans were allegedly raised at a campus event in memory of Parliament attacker Afzal Guru.
