started with the attack by the ABVP-YFE-NSUI hooligans on a cultural evening organised by the JNU Forum .
Against War on People. The programme had been planned and publicised much in advance, the campaign in several hostels had begun on the fourth morning itself. In fact. the programme was initially scheduled for the fifth evening. But the right-wing forces started their false and baseless propaganda that it was an event in cel_ebration of .
the deaths of CRPF personnel in Dantewada. This lie was picked up by thetr masters in BJP and was reproduced .
by the corporate media without even bothering to find out the facts of the matter. 'JNU.
In a pre-planned manner, the ABVP first gave a 'complaint' to the Vasant Kunj police station on the day of the gth April programme. In it, they claimed that ""the supporters of Naxai/Maoists groups under the banner of .
Forum Against War on People' are organizing a programme and a movie show, where they are going to justify the Naxal attack which happened day before yesterday m Dantewara, Chhattisgarh and propagate anti-national .
sentiments· which are dangerous for the integrity and unity of the country. Due to this Naxal attack in which 76 .

and other banned Maoist organizations." After assuming that they have prepared the ground, ABVP-NSUI-YFE tried to disrupt the event by indulging in acts of vio~ence and hooliganism. Students in the audience, the .
perf~rmers, organisers and technicians were assaulted in full view of the Chief Security Officer of JNU. Many of them tried to intimidate women students by attacking them. The next day, they went to every hostel and tore down all the posters on the walls (except ABVP's) and burnt them up in bonfires. .
You may have come to know of the recent Circular issued by the Dean of Students which stipulated that no .
permission will be given to events which is against the "nation's security, integrity and harmony''. To ensure this, it .
also made it mandatory that all documentaries and movies which will be shown in JNU will need to have censor .
board certification. Moreover, a copy of the movie will have to be submitted to the administration so that they can .
decide whether a movie is llanti-national" or not. .
All these developments are not isolaied or unconnected. They are happening in a context when the .
Indian state has been conducting Operation Green Hunt, its biggest war operation since 19'47, and this time within .
its territory and against our own people. This operation has been launched after the steadfast resistance from the .
adivasis and other oppressed people to the forced acquisition of land by the Indian state for the mining giants like Posco. Vedanta and Tata Steel. The attemot to reap suoer-orofits needs a 'clean slate' for the state to work on. .
