Union Minister Giriraj Singh strongly criticized the controversial slogans directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi. Singh labeled JNU as a center for the ‘tukde-tukde gang’, involving figures like Rahul Gandhi, the Trinamool Congress, Left parties, and other opposition forces. He emphasized that such divisive actions would not be tolerated, highlighting the need to respect court decisions and uphold national unity.
Other leaders, including Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, expressed similar disapproval over the incident. Sirsa denounced the lack of respect for the country, Constitution, and law among those involved, referring to them as separatists who sow division. He condemned the disrespectful behavior towards the Prime Minister and Home Minister as shameful.
JD(U) National Spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad stressed the importance of respecting legal authority, particularly in light of the recent Supreme Court decision. He emphasized that no form of anarchy should be allowed in the country and that all parties must adhere to court rulings, condemning such activities as unacceptable under any circumstances.
The slogans were reportedly raised at JNU’s Sabarmati Hostel following the Supreme Court’s decision not to grant bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, who have been detained for over five years in connection with a case related to the 2020 Delhi riots. The incident involved members of the JNU Students’ Union, including Danish and Sunil, and has drawn attention to the campus’s history of political activism and protests.
