JNU Tightens Security for Convocation Amid Protests
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is getting ready for a big event called the convocation on January 12.
They are adding extra security because some students shouted slogans against important leaders like the Prime Minister and Home Minister.
The university said these slogans were not nice and could cause trouble.
They have asked the police to find out who did it and have identified nine students, including some leaders.
The university wants to make sure nothing bad happens during the convocation, so they are adding more security guards and police.
They remember that in 2019, students protested during the convocation and caused a lot of trouble.
The university's boss said JNU is a very good and peaceful place, but there are always some people who try to cause problems.
They want to make sure the convocation goes smoothly this time.
JNU has doubled security for its January 12 convocation due to recent campus tensions.
Allegedly inflammatory slogans were raised against PM Modi and Home Minister Shah during an event marking the sixth anniversary of the 2020 JNU violence.
Nine students, including all four JNUSU office-bearers, have been identified by the university.
The university aims to prevent disruptions similar to the 2019 convocation, where protests over hostel fee hikes caused significant disturbances.
JNU Vice-Chancellor described the university as the 'most nationalistic university' in the country and emphasized its global reputation.
