The Minister's remarks came after the walls of the SIS were defaced with "anti-Brahmin" slogans. "JNU was becoming a centre for political parties that run the 'tukde-tukde' gang. Today, an alliance of this 'tukde-tukde' gang and 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' is running in the country, trying to break the nation," the Minister said, adding that the alliance will not succeed. "There is the Modi government in the country, which thinks about the glory of the nation. they will not succeed," he added.
