JNU Snaps Electricity, Internet To Stop Screening Of BBC Documentary On PM

Jawaharlal Nehru University students' plan to screen a banned BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening was knocked for a six as both power and electricity went out in the Students' Union office.

The screening of the documentary was set to begin at 9 pm and the students had planned to go ahead with it despite the disapproval of the administration.

The JNU administration had not given permission for the screening. It had even said that disciplinary action will be taken if the documentary is screened.

But the students insisted that the screening would not violate any rule of the university, nor would it spoil communal harmony.
