Watch: Shocking Video of “Anti-National” JNU Students Heckled

The students had just walked out of a movie theatre in Vasant Vihar when two men began heckling them.

Months after the Jawaharlal Nehru University sedition case imploded earlier this year, it looks like the witch-hunt of JNU students is still on.

Some students from the university were heading out of the PVR Priya theatre in Vasant Vihar after watching a film, when two men began to show them the middle finger, trying to instigate them. “That’s what (Frederick) Engels said. That’s what Karl Marx said,” they’re seen shouting.

On receiving no response, the men began shouting “Anti-national!”, “JNU”, “Pakistani!” until the police intervened and attempted to stop them.

While JNU students (or even young people looking like JNU students) were being singled out when the sedition row was making headlines earlier this year, for it to happen now is curious.

Perhaps in the wake of the Uri attack, the sentiment of nationalism and patriotism has been renewed. And JNU students are back at the centre of the ‘nationalism debate.’
