JNU Protest Controversy: The JNU administration has said that strict disciplinary action like immediate suspension and expulsion will be taken against the students involved in the incident.

The university administration appears to be taking a tough stand against the controversial sloganeering at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). An FIR has been filed in this matter. The administration has stated that the students involved in the sloganeering will be suspended.

Jawaharlal Nehru University administration has said that strict action will be taken against the students who raised objectionable slogans against the Prime Minister and the Home Minister and has said that the university is not a place to spread hatred.

‘The students involved will be suspended.’
The administration has also said that strict disciplinary action, including immediate suspension, expulsion and permanent expulsion from the university, will be taken against the students found involved in the incident.

‘JNU should not be allowed to become a laboratory of hatred’

The JNU administration also said that universities are centres of innovation and new ideas and they cannot be allowed to be turned into laboratories of hatred. They said that freedom of expression is a fundamental right of every citizen, but violence, illegal activities or any kind of anti-national actions in its name will not be tolerated at all.

The JNU administration clarified that strict action will be taken against the students involved in this incident. This will include disciplinary action, including immediate suspension, expulsion, and permanent ban from the university.

The university administration said that it is everyone’s responsibility to maintain the academic and disciplinary dignity of the campus and a zero tolerance policy will be implemented against any kind of anarchy or unconstitutional behaviour.

Let us tell you that a formal request to register an FIR was sent to the police on Tuesday morning in the case of sloganeering outside Sabarmati Hostel in Jawaharlal Nehru University.

In its complaint, the administration stated that at around 10 pm on January 5th, students affiliated with the JNU Students’ Union organized an event outside Sabarmati Hostel. The event was stated to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the violence that occurred on campus on January 5th, 2020.

These students were involved

Initially, the gathering appeared to be limited to the anniversary and involved approximately 30 to 35 students. Prominent students identified in the complaint include Aditi Mishra, Gopika Babu, Sunil Yadav, Danish Ali, Saad Azmi, Mehboob Elahi, Kanishk, Pakiza Khan, and Shubham.

The letter states that following the judicial decision on the bail applications of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, the nature and atmosphere of the event changed. Some students began raising highly objectionable, provocative, and inflammatory slogans.

‘Such sloganeering violates JNU’s code of conduct’
The administration states that this act not only transcends the bounds of democratic dissent but also constitutes a blatant disrespect of the Supreme Court. The complaint states that such sloganeering also violates the JNU Code of Conduct. The university states that this poses a serious threat to the peace, harmony, public order, and security environment on campus.

According to the university, security department officials were present at the scene at the time of the incident, including Inspector Gorakhnath, Supervisor Vishal Kumar, and security guards Jai Kumar Meena and Pooja. They were constantly monitoring the situation.
