I would say we should rename
JNU after Prime Minister Narendra Modi as MNU.
JNU has been a place of vibrancy, all the time engaged in conversation about national concerns and issues.
" We deplore the anti- national activities that have taken place in the recent past in
JNU, Hyderabad University and Jadhavpur University.
The
JNU student union categorically denied its involvement with this controversial event but even then the union president was picked up by police on Feb 12 for demonstrating 'anti national behaviour.'
The President, Syed Tajamul Imran during his visit to
JNU Campus, castigating the suppression on student activists in
JNU, condemned the allegations on
JNU students from the
JNU administration and recent expulsion of students, reported.
A left-leaning students' group, the Democratic Students Union, had sought permission from the
JNU authorities to hold a "cultural programme" on Kashmir for poetry recitation under the title "A Country Without A Post Office", inspired by the famous Kashmiri poet Agha Shahid Ali.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Yousuf Tarigami in a statement issued in Jammu said, Virtually
JNU has been put under siege and seditious charges under Section 124-A of IPC, a draconian colonial law, have been invoked against the president of
JNU Students Union Kanhaiya Kumar and other students.
Kumar, 28, was arrested after officials claimed he and other
JNU students chanted anti-national slogans at an event supporting Afzal Guru, the convict of an attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001.
"The entire world is now referring to
JNU as a hub of anti-nationals on the basis of propaganda of few people in power.
As the title itself explains that the book is set in
JNU campus.
As part of other evidence, the police had also said the Forensic Science Laboratory retrieved an SMS sent by accused and former Jawaharlal Nehru University (
JNU) Students' Union leader Umar Khalid to Kumar, asking him to "arrive at Sabarmati Dhaba,
JNU, as their permission had been cancelled by the
JNU administration".
Kanhaiya, along with other
JNU students, was on a hunger strike against the punishment issued by the university in connection with the February 9 event.
