BBC documentary row: JNU admin issues 'advisory' to cancel screening or face 'strict disciplinary action'

The Jawaharlal Nehru University administration on Monday asked students to cancel the screening of the controversial BBC Documentary 'India: The Modi Question'.

The administration said it might “disturb peace and harmony of the university campus". The administration also said no prior permission for this event was taken from it.

"It has come to the notice of the administration that a group of students have in the name of JNUSU released a pamphlet for screening a documentary ‘India: The Modi Question’ scheduled for 24th January 2023 at 9:00 pm in Teflas. No prior permission for this event has been taken from the JNU Administration. This is to emphasize that such an unauthorised activity may disturb peace and harmony of the University Campus," the advisory read.
