Yogeshwar Dutt disagrees with Sanjay Manjrekar

Many celebrities have been commenting on the brutal attack in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi which had taken place on Sunday and among them was Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar took to the micro-blogging site and wrote 'Well done Mumbai!'' The former Indian batsman had made this comment in support of the protests that are happening in Mumbai which were organized in support of the university's students. 

However, Manjrekar's comment did not go down well with the 2012 Olympic bronze medal-winning freestyle wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt who took to social media and posted an image of a woman holding a 'Free Kashmir' placard. The BJP Haryana polls candidate told the cricketer-turned-commentator that this was also the truth of this Mumbai performance and asked him what he had to say about such people.
