JNU Protest: Students Raise Slogans Against Modi and Shah

JNU Protest Against Modi and Shah

JNU students protested on campus raising slogans against PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah following Supreme Court denial of bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam.

A group of JNU students raised controversial slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah inside the university campus after the Supreme Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 riots conspiracy case.
According to a purported video of the protest, which was held on Monday night, slogans condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were raised.

Aditi Mishra, Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union president, said that every year, students hold a protest to condemn the violence which occurred on the campus on January 5, 2020.
"All of the slogans raised in the protest were ideological and do not attack anyone personally. They were not directed towards anyone," Mishra told PTI.
A senior police officer said no complaint has been received so far in this matter.
Delhi ministers Ashish Sood and Manjinder Singh Sirsa, however, condemned the incident and blamed the Opposition for supporting those who indulge in such acts.
"Sharjeel Imam spoke about separating Northeast India. Umar Khalid raised slogans of 'India will be broken into pieces,' and his involvement was found in the 2020 riots. Such people are shown sympathy because there are people in this Assembly who shared a stage with Sharjeel Imam," Sood told reporters, ahead of the second day of the Winter Session of the Delhi Assembly.
He said when such people are given patronage, such things are bound to happen.
"What has happened in JNU, where Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid have been supported..., is condemnable and against the nation. You can fight over policy matters, but there is no place for violence in democracy," Sood added.
Echoing similar sentiments, Sirsa alleged that those who raised slogans have no regard for the Constitution or law.
"These are separatist people. Raising such slogans against prime minister and home minister is extremely shameful. The AAP and Congress have always supported such people," he told reporters.
Violence erupted on the campus on January 5, 2020, when a mob of masked men stormed the campus and targeted students in three hostels, unleashing mayhem with sticks, stones and iron rods, hitting inmates and breaking windows, furniture and personal belongings.
At least 28 people, including then JNU Students' Union president Aishe Ghosh, were injured as chaos reigned on the campus for nearly two hours.
The Delhi Police had come under attack for not acting when the mob was running riot on the campus, and especially for naming student union leaders, including Ghosh, in the two FIRs related to vandalism on the campus.

The BJP termed the Supreme Court&rsquo;s refusal to grant bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case a setback for the Congress, demanding an apology for backing what it called the &ldquo;tukde-tukde gang&rdquo;.

The BJP on Monday said the Supreme Court order denying bail to activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case is a "big slap" on the Congress' face and demanded that the opposition party apologise for supporting the "tukde-tukde gang".
Calling Khalid and Imam the "poster boys" of divisive forces in India, the BJP claimed that the Congress ecosystem was projecting them as "innocent victims" to protect them.

Supreme Court denies bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam in 2020 Delhi riots case

The Supreme Court rejects bail for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, citing central roles in the alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 north-east Delhi riots, while granting bail to five other accused.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused bail to activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case but granted it to five others, citing "hierarchy of participation" and saying all accused in the case do not stand on the same footing.
There was a prima facie case against Khalid and Imam under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, a bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N V Anjaria said.
While the two will remain in jail, activists Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa Ur Rehman, Mohd. Saleem Khan and Shadab Ahmad have been given bail.
According to the court, delay in trial does not operate as a "trump card" which automatically displaces statutory safeguards.
"All the appellants do not stand on equal footing as regards culpability. The hierarchy of participation emerging from the prosecutions case requires the court to examine each application individually," the bench said, adding that the roles attributed to them are different.
"This court is satisfied that the prosecution material disclosed a prima facie allegation against the appellants Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam... This stage of proceedings does not justify their enlargement on bail," the apex court said.
On December 10, the top court reserved its verdict on separate pleas of the accused after hearing arguments from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, appearing for Delhi Police, and senior advocates Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Singhvi, Siddhartha Dave, Salman Khurshid and Sidharth Luthra, appearing for the accused.
The February 2020 riots in northeast Delhi left 53 people dead and more than 700 injured.
Strongly opposing the bail pleas, Delhi Police said the riots were not spontaneous but an orchestrated, pre-planned and well-designed attack on India's sovereignty.
Raju contended that all the participants are liable for each other's acts in a conspiracy. Acts of one conspirator can be attributed to others. Imam's speeches can be attributed to Umar Khalid. And Imam's case will be considered as evidence against the others, he told the bench, which conducted hearings on the bail pleas on multiple days.
The additional solicitor general argued that Khalid deliberately planned to leave Delhi before the riots as he wanted to deflect responsibility.
Seeking bail, Imam expressed anguish before the apex court for being labelled a "dangerous intellectual terrorist" without a full-fledged trial or a single conviction.
Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, appearing for Imam, contended that he was arrested on January 28, 2020, which was before the communal violence rocked northeast Delhi, for his speeches that alone cannot constitute the offence of criminal conspiracy in the riots case.
All seven accused were booked under the stringent anti-terror UAPA and provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for allegedly being the "masterminds" of the riots.
According to Section 16 of the UAPA, "Whoever commits a terrorist act shall, if such act has resulted in the death of any person, be punishable with death or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."
The violence erupted during widespread protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The accused moved the apex court, challenging the Delhi High Court's September 2 order denying them bail in the larger conspiracy case of the February 2020 riots.

Imam was accused of giving inflammatory speeches in Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia during the anti-CAA protests.

Sharjeel Imam granted bail by Delhi HC in sedition case

Imam was accused of giving inflammatory speeches in Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia during the anti-CAA protests.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted bail to student activist Sharjeel Imam in connection with a 2020 communal riots case involving allegations of sedition and unlawful activities.
Imam assailed a trial court order refusing to grant him bail even though he has undergone more than half of the maximum sentence that can be awarded to him in case of a conviction.
"Appeal is allowed," a bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Manoj Jain said after hearing the counsel for Imam and the Delhi Police.
According to the prosecution, Imam allegedly made speeches at Jamia Millia Islamia on December 13, 2019 and at the Aligarh Muslim University on December 16, 2019 where he threatened to cut off Assam and the rest of the North East from the country.
Imam was booked in the case registered by Delhi Police's Special Branch, which was initially registered for the offence of sedition and Section 13 of UAPA was invoked later. He has been in custody since January 28, 2020 in the matter.
Imam had claimed before the trial court that he has been in custody for the last four years and the maximum sentence for the offence under section 13 (punishment for unlawful activities) of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act is 7 years, if convicted.
As per Section 436-A CrPC, a person can be released from custody if he has spent more than half of the maximum sentence prescribed for the offence.
The trial court, while refusing to grant him bail on February 17, had ruled that the accused's custody could be extended for a further period in "exceptional circumstances" after hearing the prosecution's case.
Imam is an accused in several cases arising from the communal riots of 2020, including the case concerning alleged larger conspiracy behind the violence. He is in judicial custody in the conspiracy case as well.

Imam, who was arrested in February 2020, was on Saturday discharged along with 10 others in the 2019 Jamia Nagar violence case, with the court saying they were made scapegoats by police.

Delhi Riots 2020: Delhi HC to hear on Monday Sharjeel Imam's bail plea in UAPA case

Imam, who was arrested in February 2020, was on Saturday discharged along with 10 others in the 2019 Jamia Nagar violence case, with the court saying they were made scapegoats by police.

The Delhi High Court will on Monday hear a bail plea by JNU student and activist Sharjeel Imam in a UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 riots here.
Imam, who was arrested in February 2020, was on Saturday discharged along with 10 others in the 2019 Jamia Nagar violence case, with the court saying they were made "scapegoats" by police.
The plea, which was filed in April 2022 against a trial court order refusing to grant bail to Imam in the matter, is listed before a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar.
On October 18 last year, the high court refused to grant bail to co-accused Umar Khalid in the same case, saying he was in constant touch with other co-accused and allegations against him were prima facie true.
It had also observed that Sharjeel Imam &ldquo;arguably was at the head of the conspiracy&rdquo; and there existed a string of commonality running amongst all the co-accused.

Police had registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including rioting, in connection with the communal violence that erupted after a clash between police and people protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
