JNU Rocked Again: PM Slogans Erupt After Bail Denial, Recalling Decades of Turmoil

• JNU students chanted slogans against PM and HM after Supreme Court denied bail to Omar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the Delhi riots case.
• The protest occurred on the anniversary of the January 5, 2020 JNU violence, where masked individuals attacked students, injuring 28.
• Union Minister Giriraj Singh condemned the protest, labeling participants as the 'tukde-tukde gang' and demanding sedition charges.
• JNU has a long history of controversies, including the 2016 "Bharat Tere Tukde Honge" slogans and the 1983 closure for a year due to student violence.
• Past incidents include effigy burnings of political figures, objectionable pamphlets, and clashes during various events like Dussehra and Mahishasur Martyrdom Day.

Why It Matters: JNU remains a flashpoint for ideological clashes and protests, with a history of significant unrest.
