BBC Documentary on PM Modi: Security has been tightened outside the Jamia Millia University in Delhi ahead of the planned screening of the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi organised by the Students' Federation of India (SFI) at 6 pm at MCRC lawns in varisty campus today.
However, a senior official of the Jamia University said that the administration will not allow this to happen, and a strict vigil is being kept. But if the students still go ahead and try to screen it then strict action will be taken, the official said.
Meanwhile, 10 University students and members of the SFI including Azeez, Nivedya, Abhiram, Tejas among others have been detained by the Delhi Police prior to the screening of the documentary.
Earlier, a high drama prevailed at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus on Monday late evening after the students alleged that they were attacked with stones while watching a controversial BBC documentary.
However, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest), Manoj C. denied reports of stone pelting.
When asked about the incident, the DCP said "I repeat again no such incident has been reported to us so far."
"If we receive a complaint from any section of JNU, necessary legal action as deemed appropriate will be taken," said the DCP.
Meanwhile, internet service and electricity connection at the office of the JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) were snapped on Tuesday after some students wanted to screen the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The JNU administration had earlier asked the students to cancel the screening of the documentary -- 'India: The Modi Question'.
The varsity administration, in a stern warning, told the students that disciplinary action may be initiated as per the university rules if anyone screens the documentary.
The Central government had earlier termed the BBC documentary propaganda against the Prime Minister and the country.
