Jamia Millia Islamia Students Protest for Union Restoration Amid Controversial SlogansPreviousNext

At Jamia Millia Islamia, students have been on an indefinite hunger strike since October 12, demanding the restoration of the students' union and an election schedule. Controversial slogans like "Free Kashmir" and "Free Sharjeel Imam" appeared on campus walls, prompting condemnation from the university and political leaders. Congress MP Imran Masood, detained while supporting the protest, condemned these slogans and affirmed Kashmir's integral status to India. The university has launched an investigation amid tightened security and ongoing student demands for democratic representation.
