BJP’s firebrand leader Sangeet Som, who frequently grabs headlines for his statements, is once again in the spotlight. He has made a controversial statement regarding former MP Azam Khan’s Jauhar University, alleging that the institution fosters terrorism and was built by usurping land belonging to the poor. Som’s remarks have intensified the political debate; while the opposition has termed his statement inflammatory, seers from Ayodhya have come out in his support.
