JNUSU Election 2012 is just a few days to go. But current election-like the previous one-is again going to be.
held under the Lyngdoh recommendations that meant for deflating the radicalism of students' politics. We all know the.
draconian provisions of the Lyngdoh. Even if Kashmir is burning and peoples in north-east are killed and raped by Indian.
state, the Lyngdoh recommendation do not give any space to students to debate and discuss these crimes. For the.
lyngdoh, the student activist/leader has to be an "integrationist". Other constraints include administrative control of the.
student union, age bar, lack of opportunities to link the students' issues with the struggling masses outside. In other.
words, .the Lyngdoh commission is nothing but an imperialist, capitalist, statist, brahminical design to clip the wings of.
students' politics..
I, therefore, strongly betieve there is a need to intervene in the JNUSU election, given the politics of betrayal.
practiced by opportunist, castiest and communal forces such as AISA, SFI, SFt-JNU, AISF, ABVP, YFE, NSUI..
Therefore, my independent presidential candidature is to use the platform of JNUSU election to reach out to the.
student community and take up those issues cannot be addressed by opportunist "left" organisation because they fear.
that their right-wing base might ge~ eroded. r think unless the Lyngdoh is rolled back, we will have a tamed student body..
