JNU Protest Controversy | Slogans At JNU Against PM After Umar Khalid Denied Bail, BJP Reacts

Controversial slogans directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi echoed on the campus of Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Monday after the Supreme Court denied bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sherjeel Imam. The two men have been in jail for over five years. They face charges in a "larger conspiracy" case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. Reacting to the incident, BJP leader and Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa today asked what is there left to say if they start protesting against the judgment of the Supreme Court? "They have no link with this country. They are people who want to break up India, they speak ill of the prime minister," he said. The slogans were raised by some people at JNU's Sabarmati Hostel between 9 pm and 10 pm, sources said. Danish, the joint secretary of the Left-backed JNU Students' Union (JNUSU), and Sunil, its secretary, were at the spot when slogan-shouting was going on, sources said.
