JNU's New Course On Counter-Terrorism Initiates Controversy 

JNU's new course has sparked controversy following the university's Academic Council which approved a new course based on "counter-terrorism." Besides, the course is available for dual-degree engineering students as a part of International Relations. The optional course claims ''Jihadi terrorism'' is supported by countries with communist backgrounds. However, the course will only be offered following the Executive Council's approval.
