Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) found itself back in the headlines after Delhi Police registered an FIR over the raising of highly provocative and objectionable slogans within its premises. The incident has once again thrust the prestigious institution into a storm of controversy, raising serious concerns about campus safety and ideological extremism.
Details emerged late last night when grainy videos surfaced online, showing a cluster of individuals vociferously chanting phrases that crossed into dangerous territory—inciting division and challenging constitutional values. The outburst disrupted normalcy, forcing security to intervene.
Delhi Police, responding to multiple complaints, lost no time in formalizing the case. The FIR lists charges under sections dealing with unlawful assembly, public mischief, and outraging religious feelings. A dedicated team is now tasked with nabbing the perpetrators, utilizing advanced surveillance tools.
Reflecting on JNU’s turbulent past—from the 2016 ‘tukde-tukde’ saga to recent fee hike protests—the university continues to symbolize ideological battlegrounds. Stakeholders worry that repeated flare-ups could deter prospective students and erode funding.
Diverse voices filled the airwaves today. Right-wing groups demanded exemplary punishment, branding it ‘treasonous.’ Left-leaning activists countered that selective outrage stifles legitimate protest. The JNUSU appealed for dialogue over division.
With forensic analysis underway, the truth may soon emerge. Yet, this episode serves as a stark reminder for educational bodies to foster environments of reasoned debate rather than rancor. Delhi Police’s commitment to justice offers hope amid the uproar, as the nation watches closely.
