A protest at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) sparked a controversy as objectionable slogans targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were allegedly raised over the denial of bail by the Supreme Court to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case, prompting the university administration to seek an FIR in the matter.

certain students raised “highly objectionable, provocative and inflammatory” slogans at an event on Monday that were in direct contempt of the Supreme Court and reflected a “wilful distespect for constitutional institutions and established norms of civil and democratic discourse”.
