A protest at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) led to controversy after slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were reportedly raised following the Supreme Court’s denial of bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in a 2020 riots conspiracy case. JNU condemned the slogans as anti-national and stated that any unlawful conduct would not be tolerated, promising disciplinary action against the involved students. This incident has ignited political reactions, with BJP leaders criticizing the protest and linking it to an Urban Naxal mindset, suggesting that opposition parties like Congress are complicit in such activities. The event raises broader concerns regarding the balance between freedom of expression and maintaining public order and respect for judicial decisions in India.
