III. Further, in JNU elections, an important part of elections is the public meetings addressed by political leaders of the parent parties of student groups. If this is ended, it will mean that students will no longer be able to vote based on a thorough ideological understanding of the candidates positions. This will benefit non-serious candidates, and candidates will no longer have to survive serious ideological grilling about their parent parties stances. In JNU, the very fact that elections are decided on political grounds is a guarantee that glamour, money and violence play no part in the election. If this level of ideological openness and debate is weakened in any way, it can only open the doors to vitiation of the campus atmosphere. .
14. The Lyngdoh Committee Report [p., 36] states that the Committee has prepared its Guidelines for the Conduct of Student Elections across the country, keeping in mind the words of the Honble Chief Justice, Y.K. Sabharwal: .
Just as during the freedom movement every university student was a nationalist at heart (whether he was active in the movement or not), even so, every university student today must be an integrationist at heart, whatever be his or her field
Virtues like tolerance, discipline, law abidance and punctuality, must be cultivated right from now. True democracy rests on voluntary observance of the laws of the land and not on the enforcement thereof by authority. Your education should inspire you for honour of the motherland and humanism. Students must engage yourself in economic and social development which narrows down disparities and gradually assists society in raising its standards of behaviour and morality. .
The Applicant Union submits that throughout its functioning the JNUSU has been engaged in activities of economic and social development which narrows down disparities and in doing so has upheld the best traditions of the freedom movement. .
