JNU Protests: A group of “miscreant” students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) raised objectionable slogans against Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This was after the Supreme Court (SC) rejected the bail pleas of 2020 Delhi riots accused Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam.
Delhi Police’s Reaction to JNU Protests
Delhi Police remarked they are aware of the objectionable slogans and the incident. It was added that an inquiry is presently underway.
Raised at an event titled “Godzilla Dhaba,” the slogans were made at the JNU Campus near Sabarmati Hostel.
It was claimed by sources that JNU Students’ Union Joint Secretary Danish Ali and Secretary Sunil were present at the venue when the objectionable slogans were raised. Several students who were linked to left wing associations were also present at the venue.
Aditi Mishra, Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union president, remarked that a protest is held every year by students to condemn the violence that erupted on 5 January 2020 at the JNU campus.
ABVP Condemns Slogans
ABVP Vice President Manish Choudhary while criticizing the event said it is not right to blame the PM and the Home Minister after the SC verdict.
In a post on X, BJP leader and minister Kapil Mishra said the snakelets are writhing in pain when the heads of snakes are being crushed. Mishra went on to remark that rioters, terrorists and Naxalites at JNU are frustrated because terrorists are being dealt with, Naxalites are being eliminated and the rioters are being identified by the SC.
