Controversial slogans directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi echoed on the campus of Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Monday after the Supreme Court denied bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sherjeel Imam. The two men have been in jail for over five years. They face charges in a “larger conspiracy” case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. The slogans were raised by some people at JNU’s Sabarmati Hostel, sources said. Danish, the joint secretary of the Left-backed JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU), and Sunil, its secretary, were at the spot when slogan-shouting was going on, sources said.
