Anti-Modi and Shah slogans at JNU spark calls for action

As slogans were raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus by Left-wing student groups, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday criticised the incident, stating that turning modern educational campuses into centres of unrest and disorder serves no one's interest.

Around 30 to 40 students affiliated with the Democratic Students' Federation (DSF), the All India Students' Association (AISA) and the Students' Federation of India (SFI) staged a protest, raising anti-government slogans at the campus. Among the slogans shouted was “Modi-Shah ki kabra khudegi, JNU ki dharti par.”

Speaking to reporters, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “If modern educational campuses become centres of unrest and disorder, it will certainly reflect the activities of such radical syndicates. Slogans like ‘Modi, your grave will be dug’ or ‘Amit Shah, your grave will be dug’ are part of these syndicates, whose political motives target Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The government will take action, and anyone involved in such activities will face strict legal consequences. I believe that turning modern educational campuses into centres of unrest and disorder is neither in the interest of the students, nor the faculty, nor the institution itself, nor the country.”
