Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is again at the center of a controversy following alleged anti-national slogans raised on January 5, 2026. Student bodies, reportedly affiliated with Left-oriented groups, are accused of calling for the death of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. This incident occurred shortly after the denial of bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, who face charges related to inciting violence. The university has initiated disciplinary proceedings against the students involved, while an FIR has been lodged. The event reignites debates on the limits of free speech under Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution and reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2).
