A group of students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) raised controversial slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah after the Supreme Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 riots conspiracy case.

According to a purported video, the protest was held on Monday night inside the campus. Aditi Mishra, JNU Students’ Union president, said that every year, students hold a protest to condemn the violence which occurred on the campus on January 5, 2020. “All of the slogans raised in the protest were ideological and do not attack anyone personally,” Mishra said.
