Case Summary

During the 74th Republic Day celebrations, several students in NCC uniforms studying at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) raised “Nara-e-Takbeer, Allah-hu-Akhbar”, and “AMU Jindabad,” slogans. Reportedly, they chanted religious slogans after the flag hoisting ceremony in the university. The video of the incident was shared by former District Convenor BJYM (Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha), Aligarh, Dr Nishit Sharma, who demanded police action against the students who raised anti-India slogans. He is an alumnus of AMU.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

Why a hate crime is suspected: During Republic Day, Muslim students from AMU raised religious slogans. The allegation was that anti-Hindu slogans were also raised. It is generally observed that Islamic religious slogans during events like Republic Day signify allegiance to religious supremacy over the nation's democratic and constitutional ethos. However, since there is no direct evidence to prove the motivations of the Muslim students, the case has been kept out of the hate tracker.
