Friends! 18/04/07 The student movement in our campus is faced with immense challenges in the coming one year. The present JNUSU council has the responsibility of ensuring that all the challenges facing the students are resolved successfully. The leadership of JNUSU to buiJd a sustained and united student movement would crucially affect the progressive democratic character of our campus in the coming days. From the very first day itself SFI-AISF representatives in the JNUSU have made all efforts to forge the broadest possible unity of students on these issues. Be it the issue of 27% OBC reservations and 54% Seat increase, struggle for more scholarships, formulation of 11 th plan proposals in a democratic and transparent manner or other important demands like recognizing Allemiyat-Fazeelat degrees for admissions to BA 1st year and ensuring transparency in admission process the SFI-AISF representatives have taken the lead in mobilizing students against the insensitive administration in various protest actions over this period. Not only have these efforts been successful in pressurizing the administration to concede to many of our important demands like implementatjon of 27%0BC reservation in one go, formation of a committee to strengthen the EOO, ratification of the rules and procedures of the GSCASH etc. but they have also helped In forging a broader unity of students on many issues which has strengthened our cause. The open meetings called by the JNUSU president on the issue of reservation were an initiative in this direction only. The JNUSU President also called for an All Party Convention against the Supreme Court judgement staying OBC reservation. It were the SFI AISF representatives in the council who took the initiative of calling an open meeting of students on the issue of depiction of women in cultural programmes in our hostel nights following complaints by a large number of girl students regarding a performance in a cultural night in a particular hostel. Shamefully nobody from the AISA or their representatives in the JNUSU part1cipated in that meeting barring a token presence by the JNUSU VP for a few minutes. .
It is this vision of the JNUSU, aimed at forging the broadest possible student unity, which the infantile ultras of the AISA do not have For them the JNUSU platform is yet another means for attacking the SFI-AISF and extracting their sectarian polit1cal gains. Since the last elections~ the JNUSU General Secretary has indulged in the worst forms of sectarian politics, while the JNUSU VP has been totaJiy inactive in all major issues. The JNUSU Gen Secy has not even allowed council meetings to take place or let the electJon of conveners and GSCASH representative happen till now. The inactivity and sectarian politics of the AISA within the JNUSU is exposed from the following: .
.
The JNUSU Gen. Secy., called separate demonstration on the Nithari issue, sabotaged the protest march on students' issues on 14th March. .
.
.
The AISA representatives in JNUSU did not even bother to call for a protest demo during the Academic Council meeting or report the proceedings of the meeting to the student community. .
.
.
The AISA was completely silent on the issue of ratification of the rules and procedures of GSCASH, constitution of a committee for strengthening Equal Opportunity Office or increasing the amount under Earn·As·You-Learn scheme. .
.
.
The AISA has been completely silent against the YFEs black flag demonstration against Arjun Singh or the manhandling of Swami Agnivesh and Udit Raj during a programme In JNU. .
.
.
Neither the AISA nor their JNUSU representatives have taken any position on the YFE's obnoxious attacks on the JNUSU president for his commitment to the cause of 27% OBC reservations and seat Increase. .
.
.
While the AISA has decided to conveniently neglect all these genuine issues and questions being raised by the SFI·AISF they are revoking the issue of Nandigram again and again to hide their utter inactivity and non-seriousness on students' issues. As far as the issue of Nandigram is concerned, the SFI-AISF would like to state the following: .
On Nandigram: 14 people have died in Nandigram due to the confrontation between the police and violent agitators. One person (out of 14) died because a bomb that he was trying to throw at the police burst in his hands. The police firing is highly unfortunate and deplorable because poor people have lost their lives. It is particularly disturbing because it has happened under the Left Front Government, which Is committed to the cause of the working people, particularly the rural poor. The Left Front Government in West Bengal must take immediate steps to ensure the restoration of peace and normalcy In Nandlgram. The Left Front Government must also ensure that such incidents of police firing do not occur in future. .
The police firing on 141h March is regrettable, but the culpability of the opposition parties in West Bengal, namely the Trinamool Congress! the BJP, the Congress, SUCI and naxalites cannot be overlooked. The issue of land acquisition had been settled when the Chief Minister of West Bengal announced on 3rd February 2007 that no land would be acquired in Nandigram. Several all-Party meetings were convened both at the district as well as the state level to discuss and resolve the issue. The opposition deliberately stayed away, because they wanted the situation to precipitate. .
Over 3500 Left sympathisersl all poor villagers, have been staying in makeshift relief camps over the past two and a half months since they were forcibly evicted from the villages. The area was declared out of bounds for the district administration and all communication links and roads were cut off. This was surely not a democratic form of protest. Moreover, the demand on the basis of which the protest .
