AISA Hails JNU Students' For Spirited Protest With Black Flags 14.11.05.

.

Against Killer Policies of Manmohan Singh on His Visit to JNU !.

.

Protest Against Violent Attack on Protestors Launched by NSUI-JPF-ABVP.

.

Under the Patronage of Administration and Police !.

.

On PM Manmohan Singh's visit to JNU today, students protested against the UPA Government's anti-people policies.

by showing black flags. Students dared to voice their spirited protest against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, the.

Patents Amendment Act, the police atrocity on workers in Gurgaon and students in Garo Hills, as well as the UPA Gov-.

ernment's pro-US foreign policy and economic policy, and its compromise with communal forces. While AISA and other.

democratic groups protested,while the SFI-AISF held back from the protest, the ABVP and NSUI joined hands to attack.

the peaceful protestors physically. The police and JNU Administration tacitly patronised the violence by ABVP-JPF and.

NSUI lumpens. Several AISA activists including women students were roughed up and suffered injuries..

.

JNU students have had a glorious tradition of fearlessly expressing dissent against those in power: this campus showed.

.

black flags to Indira Gandhi during Emergency and protested against Advani's visit in 1996. Today's protest has kept alive.

that tradition..

.

Protest and dissent is the very life breath of democracy. NSUI and ABVP - defenders of the brutal anti-people policies.

of the Congress and BJP - tell us that to protest against the PM is "anti-national", and that the protestors have "tarnished.

JNU's image" by failing to welcome the PM. Let us ask ourselves, do we "welcome".

.

- The killers in the uniform of the Assam Rifles, who raped Manorama Devi in Manipur?.

.

- The police who re-enacted Jallianwala Bagh in Gurgaon and watched as Dalit homes were torched in Gohana?.

.

- The police bullets which killed students in Garo Hills?.

.

- The political leaders who burned Sikh youth alive in 1984, or Muslims in Gujarat?.

.

- The IMF-World Bank-dictated economic policies that force our farmers to commit suicide, that rob us of our right to.

.

employment, that reserve education for the rich and that hand over our land, water and key sectors of our economy to MNCs?.

.

- The killer Patent Laws that snatch health and medicine from the reach of the poor?.

.

- The sellout of India's sovereign foreign policy by voting against Iran in the IAEA at US dictates?.

.

How "nationalist" is it to "welcome" the above killer policies? If not, how can we "welcome" the very person who is implementing.

these policies, who is responsible for them? The UPA Government has not only continued with the NDA's economic and.

foreign policies, it is also protecting the perpetrators of the Gujarat carnage. Manmohan Singh recently refused to.

make available the late K R Narayanan's letter to Vajpayee regarding Gujarat, to the Nanavati Commission..

.

Can we hear Manmohan Singh's speech to us on `Children's Day', and remain silent about the children your.

.

men in uniform killed in Kupwara and Garo Hills?.

.

Today's events reflect national politics perfectly : the Congress and BJP may claim to be sworn enemies, but in.

.

the face of radical opposition, they unite forces to launch repression on dissenters! And the CPI and CPI(M), for all their.

.

show of "opposition", limit themselves to token, paper protest, and stand by and watch the ruling classes.

.

launch repression on struggling people! In campus too, the broad unity between the entire spectrum of ruling.

.

parties and their allies was all too obvious: NSUI and ABVP and JPF dissolved all their differences and unitedly indulged.

.

in lumpenism. And SFI-AISF, by its silence against the NSUI-ABVP-JPF violence, and by clapping for Manmohan Singh's.

.

speech, exposed the fact that they too, support the same policies as these parties! Inspite of starting with a pretence of.

.

protest, SFI-AISF lost no time to reveal their true love forManmohan. For the SFI-AISF, "protest" against Manmohan was.

merely a compulsion of appearing radical in JNU: in reality, they have been eager to welcome him as a guest of honour in.

various ideological fora of the CPI(M) - notably the SIlver Jubilee celebrations of CPI(M) Telugu Party Organ Prajashakti.

last August. Believe it or not, Manmohan, ideologue of neo-liberalism, wasalso invited to release a book on Globalisation.

.

by CPI(M)'s own ideologue, the late Biplab Dasgupta!.

.

SFI-AISF is trying to hide its own reluctance to protest by claiming that the JNUSU President, during her tenure.

in the last JNUSU, had "agreed" for an inauguration by Manmohan. To "prove" this, they are citing an Administrative.

communique. This communique makes it VERY CLEAR that the decision to invite Manmohan was a pre-decided fact.

unilaterally conveyed by the VC in the meeting, and was in no way "decided" or "agreed to" by the JNUSU President..

.

NSUI's hunger strike is nothing but a sham to cover up its criminal attack on peaceful protestors. All its leading lead-.

ers and activists - including Wasim Sagar Azmi, Prashant Singh, NS Nag, Nikhil Chaudhury, Zahid, Madhumita, Maruf Hussain,.

Chandan, Vijay, Barton, Councillor Roji John along with JPF leaders Maninder SIngh Chauhan, Pranit, Gopal, Rahul Rai, Navneet.

and several others from ABVP, JPF and NSUI were publicly involved in abusing and assaulting the protestors. Several protesting.

.

students were injured - including women students. The way in which the police force protected and encouraged the goons clearly.

shows that the JNU Admin. used these goons as henchmen to attack the protestors. This method of Admin, to use hooligans to.

deal with a peaceful, democratic expression of dissent, is common in other Universities, but is a dangerous new trend in JNU,.

and is a matter of grave concern..

.

Join a protest meeting against the violence by NSUI-JPF- ABVP lumpens.

.

on Nov 14 (Tonight) at Ganga Dhaba at 9.30pm.
