Have Stabbed JNU in the Back! .

The entire "JNU student commun:ty, in a remarkable show of unity, tumed out at last night's UGBM to defend the JNUSU Constttution. ln'1one voice, JNU students refused to allow the JNUSU Constitution and JNU's democratic and autonomous election pr¢cess to be scrapped and replaced by the LY.ngdoh recomniend.ation:s. .

There was only one voice breaking this unity: that of tlie Y4E, whose, '.

members openly defended the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations and justified their Imposition inJNU! .

On the eve of the Supreme Court hearing, in the all-organization meeting, the Y4E stated that they were in agreement with the united position of all organizations of resisting the attempt to replace JNUSU Constitution with the Lyngdoh recommendations. , .

When confronted by their shameful role in Court, the Y4E .

In other words, the Y4E has confessed that its own legal intervention is responstble for the stay order, and that it agrees with the Supreme Court order that JNU must dump the JNUSU.

The Youth for Equality stands proved as a, thoroughly alien trend within JNU. Its mask of 'equality' and its pose of being 'above politics' stands exposed: clearly, the Y4E has acted as a willing instrument of the Government and the .

I Real _Face Of The Saffron Terrorists .

The evtdence of the Sangh Parivar's bomb plot in Malegaon and .

Modasagrows darker and more dangerous every day. Two retired Army .

officers are suspectedto be linked to theplot. They are associated .

with the Bhonsale Military School in Nagpur-a notorious school .

involved in training Sangh youths to make bombs. The 'sadhvi' .

and former ABVP office bearer Pragya Singh Thakur who is said to .

.

' .

be a main brain behind the blasts has appeared in public many .

times with BJP President Rajnath Singh and other BJP leaders. .

Defiance ShouldnolBJP leaders be arrested for hobnobbing with terrorists? When Once exposed, Youth for Equality's shameless lies were Iex-A!my men become involved in terrorist plots against the nation, what finally silenced. Then, a JNUSU Councillor from YFE in his c~~ be more dangerous? We demand that the role ofsuch ex-Army men, mthtary schools and the Sangh network tn all terrorist actionsbe investigated.
