Acharya Pramod Krishnam Slams JNU Protesters Over Anti-Modi, Shah Slogans

Kalki Dham Peethadhishwar Aacharya Pramod Krishnam, on Tuesday, triggered political reactions after posting a strongly worded message on social media, aimed at those who raised slogans against Prime Minister Modi in Jawahar Lal Nehru University.

In his tweet, Aacharya Pramod Krishnam used sharp language to question the standing and intent of those sloganeering against the Prime Minister. The post said:

Those whose “self”
lies buried in the “grave” of their own self,
are dreaming of digging the “grave” of Modi,
Traitors of somewhere.

Earlier, several Left-wing student organisations at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a gathering on the campus on Monday evening.

The sloganeering took place near the ‘Guerrilla Dhaba’, a popular student hangout within the university premises.

The protest followed the Supreme Court’s decision to deny bail to former JNU students Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots case, according to sources.

Around 30 to 40 students affiliated with the Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF), the All India Students’ Association (AISA) and the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) participated in the protest.

Aacharya Pramod Krishnam, who often comments on political and social developments, has in the past aligned his public statements with a strong defence of Prime Minister Modi and the central government.

His latest post comes at a time when political discourse has become increasingly combative, particularly on social media platforms.
