Venkaiah Naidu slams students for anti-PM, HM slogans
Orissa POST
|January 08, 2026
Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu Wednesday denounced slogans against Prime Minister and the Home Minister on the JNU campus and called those students "misled".
He said the slogan-shouting students should understand that the PM has been elected and should be respected.
"Hatred should not be a part of anybody's life. Then giving slogans against the Prime Minister, against the Home Minister and against the country is not going to help those students. They are being misled," Naidu said after attending the valedictory ceremony of the 27th Foundation Day of the Utkal University of Culture here.
Replying to another question on Venezuela, Naidu said, "No country should interfere in the internal affairs of another country. The US has no business in other countries' affairs, not only Venezuela but also other countries. The US has not done the correct thing."
Addressing the event, Naidu said that culture truly flourishes when it engages with real human concerns such as social harmony, environmental sustainability, dignity of labour and inclusive growth.
