Union Minister Jayant Sinha has come under the attack of Congress President Rahul Gandhi who has said that "if the sight of a highly educated MP & Central Minister, Jayant Sinha, garlanding & honouring criminals convicted of lynching an innocent man, fills you with disgust, click on the link & support this petition."
The online petition shared by Gandhi on Twitter has been originally generated by political observer Prateek Kanwal who has marked a copy to the President of Harvard University. The letter states “Mr. Jayant Sinha, a Minister in the Central Government and an Alumni of Harvard University, recently garlanded and honored convicts accused of lynching Mr. Alimuddin Ansari. These actions by the Minister have shocked the nation and brought disrepute to our great institution. As a responsible citizen of this country and as an Alumni of Harvard, I strongly condemn these actions and ask the Harvard University to withdraw his Alumni status."
