Stating that Jawaharlal Nehru University has become a hub for extremism, he said that Congress Vice-President Raul Gandhi, Communist Party of India general secretary Sitaram Yechury and senior leader of the Communist Party of India D. Raja should apologise for meeting and sympathising with the students of the University.
