Jahangir National University has a strong relationship with ‘continued controversy’!

It seems that director #VinaySharma’s Jahangir National University has a strong relationship with controversy. After a few ifs and buts, the censor board gave a green signal, and the film was released in cinemas this Friday. A strong opposition is seen in many cities, including Prayagraj’s Allahabad University and students from the left wing of #JNU , Delhi.

Akhilesh Yadav, Student Union Vice President, Allahabad University and National Secretary, NSUI, says, “CSIR examination was canceled after the rigging in NEET and UGC_NET. To divert attention from all these issues, an attempt is being made once again to divert the people of this country from the issue by targeting a top educational institution like JNU. A communal and anti-oppressed film is being released in the name of JNU (Jahangir National University), the purpose of which is to crush the culture and glorious history of Jawaharlal Nehru University JNU. The director of this film is Vinay Sharma; we oppose the film made on the ideology of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Today, Allahabad University NSUI unit and Joint Student Organization Morcha registered a protest by burning the effigy of the film’s director and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.”

Apart from Prayagraj, the similar opposition can be felt in various cities too. Dialogues like “Godhara wale PM banne ka sapna paale hue hain,” “Afzal hum sharminda hain, tere kaatil Zinda hain,” and “Bharat tere tukde honge, inshallah inshallah” are the point of discussions.

Actors like Urvashi Rautela, Piyush Mishra, Ravi Kishan, Siddharth Bodke, Vijay Raj, Rashmi Desai, Atul Pandey, and Shivjyoti Rajput are part of it, and the film is released in theaters on June 21, 2024, following approval from the censor board.
