Umar Khalid book discussion held at JNU after venue cancellation; ABVP holds counter-protest
An event discussing Umar Khalid's book 'Fractured Communities...' took place in the open-air area outside the SSS-II building at JNU. This happened after the university administration revoked JNUSU's booking for the SSS-I auditorium, pointing to a "non-disclosure of full facts." A large crowd of hundreds of students, activists, and professors assembled at the spot, chanting slogans to demand Khalid's release. Meanwhile, the RSS-linked ABVP organized a counter-demonstration, labeling him a "terrorist".
