A major political storm has engulfed India, the Indian Parliament, and the living rooms of citizens of the country, and is still being debated as angry student protests are growing outside on the streets. It is still not clear who exactly should be blamed for the alleged sedition. There is a strong flow of slander and rebuttal from either side as there is very little credible proof to support the claims by either side. Political leaders, news media and other bigwigs meanwhile have been actively taking sides in speaking for and against both the JNU students and the government, based on their perception of the situation. Before we start to take sides, shouldn\u2019t there be an explanation as to why, if at all, were the \u201canti-national\u201d slogans allowed repeatedly, why did the police, or JNU administration, or students, not stop or react to alleged \u201coutsiders\u201d raising any kind of anti-national slogans. How can raising the country\u2019s national flag on the university campus even be an issue for any Indian. The matter involving sedition charges is still awaiting a court verdict. While Kanhaiya was granted bail for six months, two other JNU students are still in custody, but the political brouhaha is far from over. A Siliconeer <\/b>report from PTI inputs.
