The farce of 'relaxations' initiated by the pro-Lyngdoh alliance of ABVP-NSUl-SFl-AlSF-AlSA has come a full.
circle yesterday. In the judgment passed by the Supreme Court, almost all of the so called relaxations brandished bythese forces over the past few months were rejected. They started the drama of "relaxations" when the students of thiscampus were gearing up to fight a pitched battle with Lyngdoh by eithher defying the Supreme Court's stay order orcreatively holding elections to alternative representative body like the Joint Struggle Committee. The stooges of.
Lyngdoh did not want the students to fight such an assertive struggle and therefore shamefully backstabbed themovement and came up with this proposal to renew the already exhausted and failed "negotiations" with Amicus.
Curae. They claimed 'victory' in the negotiations and came back with the seven ''relaxations". DSU had maintainedthat these 'relaxations' which they flaunted as the achievement retained the essence of Lyngdoh. Yesterday, even.
these so-called relaxations have been rejected by the Supreme Court..
The Supreme Court has granted virtually nothing to JNU. The clause regarding 'repetition' has been retained as.
per Lyngdoh, so does the clause which stipulates that elections should be conducted within 6-8 weeks from thet~ginning of the year. Anyone charged with a criminal case, or even given a show cause notice by the JNU.

::1ministration can not contest the JNUSU elections. The time period of elections has also been kept unchanged andthe entire election process will have to be finished within ten days. The Supreme Court only agreed to increase theage limit, for only the rese.arch scholars, by two years. Along with this it, it also conditionally allowed the photocopy ofcampaign material. The rest of the Lyngdoh Committee, which the two judge bench shamelessly hailed as essential to.
disciplining the students, was retained verbatim. The Grievance Redressal Cell, the most potent tool in the hands ofthe administration and one which.these Lyngdoh stooges lied about to the student community, has been retained.
intact. So if elections are allowed with these provisions the JNU administration will have sweeping powers to nullify.
even elected candidates, at their own whims. .
Today, it has become completely clear that this pro-Lyngdoh combine simply lied to the student communityin the last UGBM about the 'relaxations' that the Amicus Curae had supposedly granted them over the course.
~of the 'negotiations'. The Amicus Curiae has never even given any commitment to argue in favour of these so calledrelaxations. In the last two hearings in the Supreme Court, Gopal Subramanium presented to the judges the opinion'sof both YFE, which wants imposition of LCR in to-to, with equal weight. It is only because of renegade forces like.
SFI/AISA, that YFE, a casteist degenerate and delegitmised force, which was thrown out of the UGBM in 2008 bystudents, is claiming legitimacy again! Faithful stooges of Lyngdoh that SFI.
'AISA are, they could only 'achieve' this by.
undermining all principles and democratic processes enshrined in the JNUSU constitution. First they ran away fromthe middle of a UGBM, then in contravention of the resolution passed in that UGBM went forward to .
'negotiate' with.
toe Amicus Curae. If all this was not enough, they also hurriedly finished off the school GBMs, without any debate and.
:>scussion, to form the EC..
·-_, .
Now they have decided unilaterally, that a UGBM will be held on the 6th of January. Their rushing isunderstandable. They want to hold the UGBM right at the beginning of the semester when many students are still at.
home, so that they can push their compromise and surrender before Lyngodoh, once again without any debate anddiscussion. They do not want to face the student community to whom they had made all the bogus promises about"relaxations"-and other cleverly packaged compromise formula. We would like to remind them that no provision in theJNUSU constitution ·allows a few organizations to fix a date of UGBM on their own..
The fight against Lyndgoh, however is far from being over. The fight against Lyngdoh had made significantachievements in the past. The same Supreme Court which rubbished the plea of JNU students yesterday, was forced.
earlier to question the entire constitutional validity of Lyngdoh Committee in 2009. We could achieve that legalsuccess because our concurrent political mobilization was strong. .
Today the legal battle suffered such a major.
setback only due to the constant capitulation and compromise in the political battle by the desperate stooges ofLyngdoh. However, despite the betrayal of these renegade forces, a large section of this campus remains.
uncompromising in this battle. The fight against Lyngdoh is a fight against all the forces which want to render the.
higher education into a n:arketable, meritocrat.ic com~odity.
. The casteis~. pro-~rivatisation age~da of Lyngdo.h.
Committtee Recommendatrons cannot be negotrated wrth, but has to be reJected m toto. The commg days we wrll.
have to decide to either capitulate before these reactionary draconian rules or continue the struggle forward to.
preserve the progressive character of JNU, that it is known for. DSU reiterates that we must not surrender our longdrawn battle against Lyngdoh to such a miserable end. We must reject these "relaxation" theatrics and holdelections as per the JNUSU constitution, to' alternative representative bodies like Joint Struggle Committee,till w e win our larger battle against Lyngdoh. .
