Did Afzal Guru fight for the dalits: BJP minister asks Parliament

New Delhi, Feb 25 (IBNS) Contesting a point from Left's Sitaram Yechury regarding the JNU row, BJP MP Bhupendra Yadav asked if Afzal Guru had fought for the backward class people (dalits).

The third day of the budget saw the house getting heated with Yechury blaming the BJP government for their lack of tolerance.

Yechury said that no one needs to teach him patriotism and that the government cannot distribute licence saying what's right and what is not.

The Left minister also said that people like Bhagat Singh was jailed for sedition.

Referring to his point, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that Yechury is beating around the bushes without pointing out the real fact and that his party does not hold anything against anyone.

Jaitley said all points of views should be respected.
