Home Ministry Asks For Report on PM Modi’s Effigy Burning in JNU

Besides Modi, the effigy had faces of Yoga guru Ramdev, Nathuram Godse, Asaram Bapu and JNU Vice-Chancellor.

While Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed and heads of several other militant organisations were the faces of Raavan effigies burnt on Dussehra across the country, a section of JNU students chose the visages of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah to represent the demon king and burnt his effigy.

On Thursday, JNU administration ordered an inquiry into burning of the effigy of PM Modi and others.

"We have ordered an inquiry into the effigy burning incident and are examining the issue," said JNU Vice Chancellor Jagadesh Kumar, whose picture was also put on the effigy set ablaze on Tuesday night.
