Others present at the meeting 

Other people attending the meeting in JNU included Sitaram Yechury, Yogendra Yadav, D Raja and Kanhaiya Kumar. Kanhaiya Kumar while speaking at the meetings said, "I am called the leader of tukde-tukde gang. I take it as an honour. Hatred for the JNU is not hatred for a university or ideology, but the thought as to how a country should be. The government is making a mistake. They have chosen an enemy that is intelligent and studies." 

A few of the politicians have come out and called Deepika's visit to JNU as a PR stunt. They have imposed several questions on her for being silent on the other social and political issues. Deepika's next Chhapaak is ready to hit the silver screen in the next three days, it also stars Vikrant Massey.
