Another party leader, BJP's Dilip Ghosh said JNU is misleading people. "Whoever goes to JNU does not know that wrong campaign is going there to mislead people there. Celebrities and film stars dont have any knowledge about what is happening there. No one likes communists. The communists are busy circulating false propaganda. People were mislead there. Slowly everything will be cleared. People should know the truth who all are in wrong concept,"
UP minister Sidharth Nath Singh said the actress must be mindful of her actions affecting the status of her movies. Deepika Padukone's lastest - Chhapaak is going to his the theaters on 10 January. "As a party we don't have any problem with her (Deepika Padukone) going to JNU. But, at the same time, she is launching a movie and it is getting linked up. When the matter is sensitive then those who matter in a society -- celebrities or Bollywood -- should avoid," UP minister.
The actress, speaking about the incident said, "I am very angry at what is happening but it is worse that no action is being taken."
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police issued a public appeal seeking pictures, footage or any information related to Sunday's violence in JNU campus that left 34 people injured even as forensic teams looked for evidence. The police stated that the CCTV footage was not accessible due to a server issue.
