Religious slogans diverted the student protest from educational issues?
Checked 9 Oct 2026 · Updated 10 Oct 2026
Reports from India Today confirm that religious slogans and unrelated political debates were introduced during the Jantar Mantar student protests. Unconfirmed claims about participants being questioned over these slogans do not invalidate the underlying student grievances.
