Former president of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) Kanhaiya Kumar today said that Freedom of Speech is understood differently by different people and for him speaking against the Prime Minister is not against the country. On the controversy surrounding Taj Mahal, Kanhaiya said that it is not the name but the monuments' architecture and timeless beauty that attracts lakhs of visitors everyday. "Call it a Taj Mahal, Teju Mahal, Moti Mahal or Modi Mahal, it will always remain Taj Mahal and the controversies will not impact its existence," he said. On the Patidar community's role in Gujarat election, Kanhaiya Kumar said that given the popularity of leaders like Hardik Patel, the BJP is trying to break them.
