Several students at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday held the screening of a banned BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, defying an advisory issued by the university administration warning of strict action.
The screening, organised by the Left-backed All India Students’ Federation (AISF), was initially planned to be displayed on a projector.
However, the organisers claimed that security personnel damaged the projector. Consequently, the students screened the documentary on a laptop at the university’s Ganga Dhaba, where scores of students gathered to watch it in the presence of security personnel.
