Not every Bharatiya Janata Party member is busy counting condoms. There are some like Chetan Bhagat who are coming out in defence of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students. And, in the process, he has tweeted out some gems.
We always knew he said the darnest of things. Sometimes, he makes sense. Mostly, he just tweets a lot of controversial stuff. Anything to stay in the limelight, right?
Like his recent remarks on the JNU debacle:
What is a hub of sex? Where people have lots of sex? I guess with 1.2bn ppl, India is a hub of sex too. https://t.co/g22NSyaRI3

But you have to give it to the fellow. He stuck to his guns:
Ok. here goes.

And, he gave it as good as he got:
I am sure they don’t do in the classroom. Hostel rooms normally have a bed. https://t.co/nL4TdXtNoY

He even corrected someone’s grammar!
yeah, totally. because if they didn’t study they would use words like childrens and not know it’s just children. https://t.co/8TSckMstSq

This point hit home!
Nobody will ever say the IITs are a sex hub. That’s kind of sad.

But he saved the best for the last:
3,000 condoms in JNU everyday? Well, 3,000 tissues in IIT everyday. Take that JNU.

The replies were hilarious:
.@chetan_bhagat Not tissues you dhakkan! Good use of your book’s pages! 😂😂😂

@chetan_bhagat At IIT sex is being engineered, at JNU it’s Art of living 😑

@chetan_bhagat In private universities we circulate 3000 CDs/DVDs everyday. Top that JNU & IIT.
