Controversy erupted at Jawaharlal Nehru University after students allegedly raised provocative slogans against PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah during a January 5 event marking six years of the 2020 campus attack. The gathering, titled "A night of resistance with Guerrilla Dhaba," occurred after the Supreme Court denied bail to former JNU students Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. JNU's security department requested an FIR for "objectionable" and "inflammatory" slogans, calling it contempt of court. JNUSU president Aditi Mishra defended the slogans as "ideological," not personal attacks. The incident triggered political reactions, with BJP alleging treason while Congress suggested RSS-BJP involvement.
