lntensitv the struggle against Lvngdoh Recommendationsl.
The recent stay on JNUSU elections for violation of the Lyngdoh recommendations is yet another instance of direct.
state intervention to curb democratic movements, of students this time, to crush the voices of dissent. This is yet.
another attempt of the state to depoliticize students' politics and to curtail our rights question and protest..
the Amicus Curie in Supreme Court who is entitled .
Is Lyngdoh really aiming at curbing money and muscle power as many would like us to believe? Well,to oversee the violations of Lyngdoh Committeerecommendations has not sent a single letter to the universities that have not started election process followingthe recommendations of the report or to the universities like DU which have openly and blatantly flouted therecommendations by using as rnuch money and rnuscle power as it used to do. But it did stay the JNUSU elections.
because the real aim of Lyngdoh is to curb politicization of the students and create students' unions which are.
uureaucratized, depoliticized and works as a puppet of university authorities. Where students' politics is cocooned.
\Nithin a limited frame and not allowed to debate, discuss and vote on issues of social and political importance..
All laws come with a 'progressive face'. No laws formulated. and implemented by the state openly claims to.
repress. The POTA, TADA, MCOCA etc where brought forward to ensure 'national integrity'. The AFSPA was.
orought with the pretext of 'national security', the SEZ act came in with the aim of 'development'. But these laws.
are actually aimed to repress, to deny the democratic rights to the people, to throttle the voices of dissent, and to.
liquidate people's movements against the powers that be. The Lyngdoh committee recommendations with all itsso-called progressive aims are ultimately aimed at curbing the democratic movements of the students and tosile~ce the voices of critique and dissent that emerges through these movements.Is it a matter that concerns the 'political lot' of JNU only? The stay on JNUSU election is not just an order.
against the eJection process. It is a direct assault on the students' movement and politics. And politics in this.
campus is far wide spread than just elections. Some people say Lyngdoh has praised the JNU model. But that.
model of political consciousness, of the culture of debate, the courage to question and critique anything, the right model is not only about the technicaltttes that ensure a money-IY;uscle free peaceful election. It is an evolved.
