JNU Row: 'Modi Teri Qabar Khudegi' Slogans Spark Massive Political Face-off

On this Special Report, anchor Preeti Choudhury examines the fresh controversy at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) following provocative slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protests erupted after the Supreme Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the 2020 campus violence. The JNU administration has lodged a police complaint against JNUSU President Aditi Mishra and Vice President Gopika Babu, describing the chants as 'highly objectionable, provocative and inflammatory'.

The report highlights the deepening ideological divide within one of India's premier educational institutions.
