Now the statement of JNU administration has come out regarding this sloganeering.

Regarding this incident, the JNU administration has instructed the security branch of the university to cooperate in the police investigation. The administration says that such slogans are not in accordance with the spirit of democratic dissent and are a violation of the JNU code of conduct.

‘There may be an adverse impact on the country’s security’

The administration further said, “Such acts can adversely affect public order, peace and harmony on campus, as well as the security of the university and the country. This behavior also shows disrespect for constitutional institutions and the established norms of civilized democratic discourse.”

The JNU administration has appealed to all to understand the clear distinction between dissent, misconduct and hate speech, as hate speech leads to public unrest.

‘Cooperate in maintaining peace and harmony on campus’

There is an atmosphere of great sadness and despair in the native village Kako of Jehanabad district of Bihar due to the decision of not getting relief from the Supreme Court to Sharjeel Imam of Jehanabad, accused in the famous Delhi riots case. Uncle Arshad Imam says that Sharjeel is completely innocent and he will definitely get justice, even if late.

In fact, in the Delhi riots case, the Supreme Court, after hearing seven accused in this case, granted bail to five, while Sharjeel Imam and Omar Khalid did not get any relief. The five accused who have been granted bail by the court in this case include Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa-ur-Rehman, Mohammad Salim Khan and Shadab Ahmed. Whereas the bail petitions of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam were rejected.

For now, the entire decision will be read carefully and after that a decision will be taken regarding further legal process.

He also said that he has full faith in the judicial system and will take the next step only within the ambit of law. Sooner or later, Sharjeel will get justice.

After this decision, Sharjeel Imam’s mother Afsa Rahim is in shock and is crying badly. She refused to say anything before coming in front of the media. Let us tell you that Sharjeel Imam has studied from IIT Mumbai and has been a research scholar in JNU. He is a resident of Kako village in Jehanabad district.
