Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai Tuesday said no worker or leader of the BJP can incite violence and alleged that the Congress and the AAP were behind Sunday’s violent attack on students and teachers in Jawaharlal Nehru University, PTI reported.

“Bharatiya Janata Party believes in law and order. No worker or leader of BJP can think of such a thing or incite anyone. This is the work of the Communists, the Congress and Arvind Kejriwal.

“The violence in JNU is only part of a conspiracy by opposition parties. I would like to tell them that the students are the future of our country and therefore I will urge Congress leaders and the likes of Arvind Kejriwal to not mislead the students,” Rai told reporters.
