Students 'face expulsion' over slogans against PM and Shah, FIR sought: JNU
New Delhi, Jan. 7 -- The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday said students involved in a protest, where controversial slogans were allegedly raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, will face suspension, expulsion or debarment, even as it asked Delhi Police to file an FIR on the issue.
On Monday night, a gathering was organised by the JNU Student Union (JNUSU) titled "Night of Resistance with Guerrilla Dhaba" to mark the sixth anniversary of violence that broke out inside the campus on January 5, 2020.
Around 35 students participated in the protest at JNU's Sabarmati Hostel premise, atleast three students told HT, during which the controversial slogans were allegedly raised against Modi, Shah, and industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. Unverified videos of the protest showing students purportedly shouting the slogans surfaced on social media on Tuesday.
"The JNU administration has vowed the strictest action against students found raising objectionable slogans against Hon'ble Prime Minister and Hon'ble home minister. An FIR has already been lodged in the matter," the university said on X. "Students involved in this incident will also face disciplinary measures including immediate suspension, expulsion and permanent debarment from the university," it added.
Delhi Police said no FIR was lodged at the time of going to print. "We received the complaint letters, but no FIR has been registered yet," DCP (south west) Amit Goel said. "JNUSU had organised a vigil on 5 January 2026 to keep the memory of 2020 attacks on JNU alive and to highlight the pattern of injustice at Sabarmati Hostel, which was the prime target of the 2020 attacks," said JNUSU. gargi shukla...
