National/anti-national, free-speech/sedition; the whole country has conveniently been divided on the JNU issue. Nearly two weeks and counting, it has initiated more violence than conversations. Things we can or cannot say in a democracy have become the judgement scale for whether one will or will not go to jail.
As of February 23, 2016, the JNU plot has thickened into becoming something entirely different. With new revelations emerging almost on a daily basis, it may get hard for some of us to keep up with all the facts.
So, here's a point by point summary of what has transpired so far:
1. February 09, 2016
Anti-India slogans are shouted in the JNU campus. ABVP and other student bodies clash. Read more about it here.
2. February 10, 2016
Kanhaiya Kumar gives a speech addressing what happened the previous night and what their fight is against.
3. February 10, 2016
JNU students are called for media debates, get yelled at by news anchors. Read more on this here.
4. February 12, 2016
Kanhaiya Kumar is arrested by the police on charges of sedition. More on this, here.
5. February 12, 2016
Umar Khalid disappears from the scene, giving birth to multiple theories about him.
6. February 15, 2016
Kanhaiya Kumar and teachers beat up by lawyers and politicians at Patiala House Court. Detailed report here.
