On this Special Report, host Preeti Choudhry examines the escalating tension at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) following controversial slogans raised during a student vigil. The debate centers on whether the rhetoric, including slogans targeting the Prime Minister, constitutes ‘pure ideological dissent’ or something ‘far more sinister’ as the university management lodges an FIR. Panelists including Sanjay Jha, Rajat Sethi, Vaibhav Meena, and Vivek Srivastava discuss the implications of the protest against the Supreme Court’s decision to deny bail to Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid. While student bodies claim their stance is being mischaracterised, critics argue the slogans cross a ‘fine red line’ into anti-national territory. The programme explores the friction between the JNU administration and student groups, especially in the context of 2026 government guidelines regarding internal security. The discussion highlights the deep ideological divide regarding the limits of free speech and the role of premier educational institutions in national discourse.
