Chetan Bhagat on JNU row: Twitter gets a-trolling again

Chetan Bhagat thinks that students who protested for a 'terrorist' are indeed 'anti-nationals'.

Chetan Bhagat tweeted his opinion about the latest JNU row and Twitterati trolled him

Chetan Bhagat also has an opinion on the latest JNU row that triggered after the arrest of JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar on charges of sedition. How could he not.

Type-casted as a ‘Bhakt’ on social media, Bhagat thinks that students who protested for a ‘terrorist’ are indeed ‘anti-nationals’ — going by his tweets, that is. But the arrest was a bit ‘too much’, he feels. On February 14, Bhagat tweeted, “The best part of JNU is Ganga Dhabha. The rest is not to be taken seriously.” However, Twitterati is finding it difficult to take the author seriously and couldn’t help but mock the statement.

The best part of JNU is Ganga Dhabha. The rest is not to be taken seriously.
