Slogans appearing on Jamia Millia Islamia's campus walls reportedly prompted the administration to remove the graffiti and increase security, while students on hunger strike alleged the graffiti was an attempt to disrupt their ongoing protests regarding union elections and disciplinary actions.
The incident sparked political debate, with Congress MP Imran Masood supporting the students' demands and the BJP describing the graffiti as a conspiracy by anti-national forces, though these characterizations remain unverified claims.
