india π PM Modi's IIT Delhi Event Sparks Debate
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented awards at the 57th Convocation Ceremony of IIT Delhi on Saturday, August 8. Despite nearly 3,000 students graduating, Modi felicitated only nine meritorious students there. Reports surfaced that students were given specific instructions on how to bow and were required to stand during Vedic chants. Stringent security, including bag checks and a water bottle ban, was also in place at the campus. AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi strongly condemned the event, citing violations of constitutional values. π§
