Kolkata: A day after he was heckled at Jadavpur University here, Union Minister of State for Environment Babul Supriyo described Friday his attackers as ‘cowards and hooligans’ who would be found soon, but would not be dealt in a similar manner rather ‘rehabilitated mentally’.
Zeroing in on a picture of a student pulling him by his hair, Babul Supriyo in a tweet, wondered what action would the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government take against the student for assaulting him without any provocation.
“This is the guy who led the assault in #JadavpurUniversity… we will find him out and then see what @MamataOfficial does to him in terms of charging him for assault without ANY PROVOCATION whatsoever from our/my side,” the singer-turned-politician tweeted.
Posting pictures of his assault at the campus Thursday when he had gone to address a seminar organised by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the minister said those who were involved in his assault would be ‘found out’ soon.
“These cowards will not be allowed to malign & tarnish the image of #Jadavpur University… U shall be found out by us soon but don’t worry, you shall not be treated in the manner you treated me,” Supriyo, a BJP Lok Sabha member from Asansol in West Bengal, tweeted.
“We shall rehabilitate you mentally so that you & your Hooligan Friends (all footages available with the media) behave like you are supposed to behave as students,” Supriyo further said.
