JNU Protest News | Controversial 'Qabar' Slogans At JNU After SC Denies Bail to Umar, Sharjeel

Controversy erupted on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University after slogans directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi were raised on Monday night, hours after the Supreme Court of India denied bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. Sources say the slogans were raised at the Sabarmati Hostel area during a protest by Left-backed student groups against the court’s decision. Khalid and Imam have been in judicial custody for over five years, and the bail denial has reignited debate on prolonged incarceration and free speech on university campuses.
