JNU Left-Wing Students Shout Controversial Slogans Backing Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam; BJP Reacts

  • Left-wing student groups (SFI, DSF, AISA) protested at JNU's "Guerilla Dhaba," raising anti-Modi and anti-government slogans.
  • The protests followed the Supreme Court's denial of bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case.
  • Students also marked six years since the 2020 JNU attack and opposed facial recognition tech, magnetic gates, and Delhi Police notices.
  • Slogans included "MODI SHAH KI KABRA KHUDEGI JNU KI DHARTI PAR" and calls for Khalid and Imam's release.
  • BJP leaders, including Shehzad Poonawalla and Pradeep Bhandari, condemned the protests, labeling participants "urban Naxals" and "anti-India."

Why It Matters: JNU Left-wing students protested, backing Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam; BJP condemned it as anti-India.
