The fight against Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations (LCR) was never an easy fight And so are not the fights against privatization, neoliberal policies and imperiafism. LCR was instituted in line with the Birfa-Ambani report on higher education which had clear1y identified students' politics as the main hindrance towards privatization of higher education. In line with the larger neo-liberaJ agenda of LPG ruthlessly pursued by all parliamentary political parties, tne report clearly stated its aim of converting education into a commodity and a business venture to be bought and sold. Under the garb of curbing 'money' and muscle power', both of which were never an issue in JNU, the real fangs of LCR was laid bare when the JNUSU was one of the first students' union election to be stayed. The real issue at hand was the assault of the forces of privatization, which the militant students' movement in JNU has always challenged. .
The students of the campus, aware of this nefarious game plan had thrown a direct challenge to Lyngdoh by declaring an in toto .
rejection of the Lyngdoh Com~ittee Recommendations. But the revisionists and reactionaries soon betrayed this resolute .
struggle against LCR and opened the doors of compromise in the name of "relaxations". It is this unity of compromise that forged .
the grand rainbow alfiance that today stands naked in their abject surrender to Lyngdoh. Bereft of all principles and scruples, afraid of .
questions and discussions, these forces today are at their shameless best And that is why they can still afford to caD this abject surrender .
of theirs as a great advance and a qualitative change even after the Supreme Court has rejected almost all of their claimed .
·relaxations·. Here they are today advocating the total capitulation to the designs of the neo-liberal agenda of the state, the dream of the .
Birlas and Ambanis, the idea of Lyngdoh. It is this capitulation that is reflected in the emboldening of the administration in Hs drives .
towards fee hike and privatization. .
.
The fa~ade of "relaxations" was built up through persistent lies over the last semester by all these pro-Lyngdoh forces in .
unison. These were projected as great prizes even when it kept the most potent clauses of Lyngdoh intact Not a word was spoken .
regarding the brahminical castelst merit criteria enshrined in Lyngdoh. The Grievance Redressal Cell that embodies the most draconian .
measure of Lyngdoh to emasculate the students union turning it into a puppet in the hands of the administration remained intacl The .
former Gen Sec of AISA even lied to the students from the stage of the UGBM pleading the case for GRC. While claiming that the GRC .
would only be active during the elections, she carefully omitted the very next line which states that it would remain a permanent feature of .
the university. The most salient feature of the JNUSU election process -public meetings, political figures from outside politics, debates-.
still remained banned according to LCR amidst lies and silences. The age restrictions on BAIMA students still remained intact despite the .
.
, fact that in JNU many students start their education late or are forced to discontinue in between. All these reactionary and anti-student clauses regarding which there were no relaxations still persist today. And alongside, the so called "relaxations"-the greatest achievement of these compromised forces -also stands rejected today after the 8th December Supreme Court judgment The sham of it is Illustrated overteaf. .
Today, when after the ~emptypromises of relaxations have fallen flat, the opportunist alliance still wishes to conduct elections .
accepting lyngdoh in the name of'restoring JNUSU". Therefore it is extremely important to remind ourselves that JNUSU for us .
had never been merely a e;ectoral platform. Hwas always aplatform of struggle. What made JNUSU the most potent weapon in the .
hands of the student community was its sovereignty and power to fight for the rights of the students. for peoples' struggles across the .
country. And for all these it derived its strength from the JNUSU constitution. The spent forces of the opportunist alliance are only .
interested In electoral politics by any means, which is nothing but the reflection of their degenerate parliamentary politics. For them the 40 .
·,ear history of struggle of the JNUSU is not worth much. Being the agents of privatization, they have nothing to lose by turning JNUSU .
into a puppet in the hands of the administration by arguing in favour of LCR in the name of ·elections at any cosf. It is this very politics of .
compromise that DSU stands against and poses the alternative of elections to the Joint Struggle Committee according to JNUSU . .
Constitution. It is only this sovereign body-free of Lyngdoh and the administration's interference-that can wage an uncompromising .
struggle against LCR and reclaim our union. .
