The committee report found that a group student were shouting slogans like “Pakistan zindabad” and  “Bharat ki barbadi tak jung rahegi (The fight will continue till India is ruined)” at an event organised to commemorate terrorist Afzal Guru, convicted in the Parliament attacks.

According to JNU officials each student has been assigned specific slots for their sessions with the police officials. The police have not yet filed a chargesheet the sedition case that had been filed after the event and arrested former JNU student union president Kanhaiya Kumar and two others.
