JNU condemns inflammatory slogans against Narendra Modi and Amit Shah during protests on campus, urges Delhi Police to register FIR for violating norms and endangering campus harmony.
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has issued a strong statement after slogans targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were allegedly raised during a protest on the campus, terming the act as “provocative” and a violation of institutional norms.
JNU Chief Security Officer Naveen Yadav wrote to Delhi Police on Tuesday, January 2, urging them to register an FIR over the objectionable and deliberate sloganeering by the university. The letter has requested action under relevant sections of the Indian Justice Code (BNS).
The controversy erupted on Monday night during a protest organized on the sixth anniversary of the attack on the JNU campus on January 5, 2020, when some slogans were allegedly raised against the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister.

In its communication, the university said that raising such slogans was “completely inconsistent with democratic dissent” and a violation of the JNU code of conduct. It warned that the incident was likely to disturb public order, disrupt campus harmony and compromise the security environment of the university.
According to the letter, the slogans were “clearly audible, deliberate and repeated”, suggesting deliberate misconduct rather than a spontaneous act. The university said the episode reflects a deliberate disregard for institutional discipline, norms of civil discourse and the peaceful academic character of the campus.
The Chief Security Officer has requested the Station House Officer of Vasant Kunj (North) Police Station to register an FIR in connection with the incident and initiate further action.
