On the morning of 6th March at around 11.30 am, plainclothes polic.emen of th~ notori~us Special Cell of the Delhi arrested a.

leading Urdu journalist Mr)hammad Ahmed Kazmi when he was returnmg from India Islamic Cultural Centre, wh.ere he used to tak.e .

classes for children. Within few hours, news channels uncritically reproducing the police claims started flashmg the news of hts.

arrest as a"big breakthrough" in the case of the attack on the Israeli dipl.omat outsi?e the Israeli embassy on 131h F~bru~ry. Ma~y.

consequences if he refused. Despite no evide!lce to implicate him in any way to the attack, he was remanded on the ?th March by .

hours later, late at night, the police landed up at his house and forced h1s son to s1gn on the arrest memo threatenmg h1m of d1re.

the Tis Hazari Court to an unprecedented 2(J' days police custody. Despite protests fro~ the j~urnalists and thousands of people,.

he continues to be in police custody and even his family has not been allowed to meet h1m desp1te repeated appeals..

Who is Mohammad Ahmed Kazmi and why exactly was he arrested? A senior journalist who has worked in the last 20 years.

with Doordarshan, BBC, INRA, other leading news agencies and is a regular contributor to many ~rdu dailies a.nd yerio?icals,.

Kazmi, unlike many other journalists. had consistently and. openly expressed his political views wh1~h we.re. not In hne With the.

'strategic interests' of the Indian ruling elite. He had extensively covered the war declared by .

th~ US 1mpenahsts on Iraq.on 2003.

and had also recently been to Syria to cover the political developments there. More recently JUSt a few days before hiS arrest,opposing the belligerent war mongering of the US imperialists agai~st Iran, he was.one of the panelistsin an NDTV talk again~t thelikes of RSS ideologue Tarur1 Vijay. As someone who been report1ng on West Asia for past 20 years, he had made many tnps tomany of these countries and also knew many languages like Arabic and Persian. Now all this is being held against him as'evidences' of his 'terrorist' links!.

Ka:.z:rni, as an outspoken critic of US imperialism an~ the Z.ionist Israeli state had become an eye sore for them and theIndian state. After the attack on the Israeli diplomats, Israel had held Iran responsible for the attack right away. Israeli investigatorslanded up in India and had been 'closely cooperating' with the Indian'investigative' agencies.The arrest of Kazmi can now be seenas a result of this 'close cooperation' between the Indian and Israeli investigative agencies. After his arrest, officials of the Massad,the Israeli investigative agency have also arrived to 'interrogate' him and the Indian state has no problems with foreign investigative.

agencies interrogating its own citizen. As a junior partner of the imperialist forces, the 'leads' provided by the Israeli investigative.

agencies are for the Indian ruling establishment more 'reliable' than any evidence. When the courts were pointed out about the lack.

of any evidence,the public prosecutor defended it by saying that sharing it would mean the real accused would abscond..

The case of Mohammad Ahmed Kazmi is not an isolated case and follows a well repeated pattern of minority witch·.

hunting where all institutions of the state from the police, judiciary or the media take turns to implicate and brandMuslims as 'terrorists'. The repeated witch-hunting of Muslims exposes one of the most brutal faces of the Indian ruling class. In.

various cases of bomb blasts be it Ajmer Sharif, Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid blast and others scores of muslims particularly.

muslim youth ha~~ been repe~tedly targeted, implicated, arrested, harassed and tortured. They continue to languish in jails evenafter the bone-chilling confessions of Aseemanand that revealed that the fascist Sangh giroh was behind these attacks. The casesof Muslim witch-hunting continues unabashed across tlie country. The cold blooded murder of lshrat Jahan and others and the fake.

encounter killing of two young innocent boys in Batla House are just afew gory instances of aconcerted and systemic attack. Lastyear, three years after they were falsely implicated in the Jai ur_.

' omb blast, afast track sessions court in Jaipur acquitted 11 of the14 people. The judge noted how the prosecution was not able to produce even a trace of evidence to prove its claims that these.

men were building terror networks across the country. They accused on the other hand, recounted the ordeal and torture they.

underwent at the hands of the police, local goons and the jail authorities. And this again is no isolated incident. Alongside theseacquittals more people were being picked up from various places and subject to the same sordid harassment..

The Indian ruling classes are playing the role of a loyal foot soldier of the US-Israel dictated 'war on terror'. For all theparliamentary parties in India tool the muslim population is either treated as compliant vote-bank or are deemed as 'terrorists'. Thediscrimination and persecution of muslims only reflects the hinclu fascist character of the Indian state and its subservience toimperialism. The case of Mohammad Ahmed Kazmi too is yet another fascist attempt by the repressive regime that throttles all.

voices of critiques and resistance against their imperialist masters. All democratic forces in the country must unite to ensure.

his immediate release along with all other implicated people who are currently languishing in the prisons of this country. .

machinery -be it in the government, the district and state administration, the pollee or the ruling-class partieslikethe Congress.As a and evade justice. In fact the brahmanical dominant-caste forces of thevillage were emboldened by their strong tieswith the state .

result, earlier complaints by the dalits of caste violence in the village including caste abuse, threats, beating up and murder that were .

committedsince the time of the resettlement of the village were routinelydismissed or overlooked by the police and theadministration. Th1s becomes clear from the fact that the police evenrefused to register aFIR orfile a case against members ofthedominant caste who killed adalit woman in Laxmipeta one year back for her defiance to thejr diktats. Rather, false cases were slappedonthe dalits by the police under section 107 of GrPC for 'violating peace and harmony'! Thus, even though the scale of attackand theextent of violence unleashed on the dalits of the village on 12 June were unprecedented, it was by no means an exceptionor anaberration. It was apart of the concerted effort by the politically and socially dominantlandowning caste of Laxmipeta to uproot and displace thesixty dalit families .

from their homes and to usurp their land by unleashing incessant casteviolence..

At the centre of the extreme contradiction between the landowning Kapus and the landless Malas of the village is the question of .

land. Years ago, land was acquired by government for Madduvalasa reservoir built on two tributaries of Nagavali Riverwhich displaced .

~ousands of people. Since Laxmipeta village was submerged, the government paid a compensation of two lakh rupeesperacre to Kapu .

landowners and settled 190 Kapu families and 60 dalit families about sevenkilometres away fromoriginal locationof the viJJage.One each from 40 families of the Kapu caste was provided with employmeht in thereservoir office departments. The daltt families of the village, however, were neither even considered for any compensationnor were they given employment, though theytoo were"ttisplaced and by the discrimination at the hands of the government, the dalits of Laxmipetaasserted their rights over a part ofthe landthat intermittently resettled. Having been deprived of land for centuries and forced to toil on the land of the landholding castes as hired labourers, followed comes out from the submergence area for a part of the vear when thewater dries up. Dalits took control of nearly 60 acres of this 'government land' and distributed it equally among the 60 families of thevillage. Even though eachfamily got merelyanacreof land, rich .

.

landlords and rich peasants of the village for work. Thus, the possessionof agricultural land by the landless daltts severely weakened the .

age-old exploitative feudal social relations in the village and reduced thestranglehold of the casteist forces overthelives of the dalits. .

crops were raised by the dalits in the past five years by puttingtheir blood and sweat and without being dependant anymore onthe .

Theseforces therefore tried to crush the newfound independence and assertionof the dalits by unleashingbrutalcasteviolence and by .

attempting to take overtheir land. After failing to do so throughforce andintimidation, the dominant caste peopleapproached the courts .

claiming their right overthe land of the dalits. The court ruledthat the dalits must stop cultivating their land, thereby once again .

dispossessed them from their land. As the court case was still going on, thefeudal forces resorting to the bloodbath ofdalitsin June 2012. .

Even belore the incident, the local politicians and police officerstriedto persuade the dalits to stop cultivation oftheir land and to hand it .

village to attack them.Though they informed the police just hours before the assault, it did nothing to prevent t~is gruesome massacre and The state machinery representing the interests of the brahmanical feudal forces connived in perpetrating the massacre of dalits..

allowed the bloodbath to go on for hours. Even the police picket inthevillage was removed during the time of theattack on the pretext of .

.

The blatant double standards: .

Such an indulgent approach to ABVP'ssystematic casteist and communallumpenism stands in stark contrast to the modeand speed of .

enquiry and harshness shown by the very same administration whenever the accused happened to belong to other political hues in the .

campus. Not only is unusually harsh punishment dealt out, thetimings of punishment are politically motivated. We all remember how punish-.

ments against activists were announced during thesummer vacations or just before the JNUSU elections. .

Do we need greater proof of the politically motivated biased nature of the administration and the Proctorial Board? The High .

Court verdict last year,which lambasted the JNU administration for its lackof neutrality, only corroboratesthepositiontaken by the JNUSU time .

and again about the evident lackof will in dealing with incidents of violenceby the casIeist and communal forces. .

.

For months,JNUSU has been patiently underlining these issues. The administration so far has no cogent logi:;a: explanation .

or response for any of the issues we have raised. Any violence is unacceptable to us. But, equally unacceptable is the complete .

double standards and blatant indulgence of the administration towards a particular set of lumpens. JNUSU emphasises that we .

are not demanding a Proctor owing allegiance to any particular ideology. Our demand is for an unbiased Proctor. .

.

Our ongoing struggle began on the 117th birth anniversary of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.Along with social justice and democratisation of .

education, our agenda is also to ensure administrative neutrality. For Babasaheb,and the Constitution he drafted, it was of prime importance that .

public bodies function with honesty and integrity, and without discrimination. However, the way our Proctor's office is functioning, is aclear .

contravention of thisvery fundamental spirit. Therefore, the current Proctorial Board must be changed .

Faulty Gut-off Criterion: Recognize and Fight the Administration's Ploys To Scuttle .

OBC Reservations! Reject Petty Politicking Against JNUSU Without Addressing the Real Issue at Hand!! .

30.7.0All 9 the results of the 2009-10 admissions in JNU have been released,revealing what JNUSUhasbeenwarning about for the past one year.This js the second year of the implementation of the OBCReservation Act, and while the JNU administration claims to have reserved 18% .

s,eats for OBC candidates,slightly more than 14%seats have been filled under the OBCquota. In other words,there is adeficit of almost4% .

thisyear.with more than 70 OBC seatsnotbeing filledby OBCcandidates. .

The entire studentcommunity is witness tothe factthatJNUSU has single-handedly beenpinning theadministrationby pointing outtheexactproblem athand. It isthe result ofcontinuous struggles over the pastyear, and the vigilance of thestudent community thatthe JNU administrationwas forced to this year,with some specificexceptions.

the constitutionally mandated OBC reservations. .

JNUSU has been pointing out the precise reason for th1s massive shortfall -the faulty, illegal, and mischievous criteria that the JNU .

.

administration is using for setting the cut-off marksfor OBC candidates: Wehavealwaysmaintained thatthis structura!flawis the single most .

importantreasonfor thefactthat several OBCseatsremain unfulfilled.That is the reasonwhy evenafter several other anomalies havebeencorrected, .

OBCseatsremainunfulfilled.After aprolongedJNUSU-Ied strugglelastyear,the administrationwas forced toset uptwocommittees tolook intothe gross .

thecut-off marksfor OBC candidates. TheJNU administration howeverused the Supreme Court stay order onthe JNUSU elections tokeep the JNUSU .

anomalies 10the 2008admissionsprocess thatJNUSUhad pointedout. TheAdityaMukherjeecomm1ttee in particular was setup tolook into theissueof .

out of thecommittees,eventhoughit was the student community thatwas primarily responsibleforbring1ng these issues tothe fore More shockingly,the .

JNUadministration has used theAditya Mukhedeecommittee toendorse its patently illegal position. .

.

For the pastone year.JNUSU has been leading thestruggleforproper implementation ofOBC reservations in the faceofaconcerted attack from .

the casteist forces well-entrenched in the JNU administration. Unfortunately,this struggle has been characterized by a conspicuous lack of .

support, mobilization and opinion building by most student organizations on campus, who preferred to train their guns on JNUSU .

rather than focussing on this mischief of the administration. .

During last year's hunger stnke, when JNUSU was the only force to talk about this real imped1ment of manipulatedcut-off marks being the main .

obstacle in fulfill1ng OBC seats, both theSFIand the DSU refused to acknowledge this as aproblem.Duringtheentiremovement,far from extending minimum cooperation with the JNUSU, they ra1sed extraneous issues and did the1r best todeflect the wholemovement with routine .

Is rather low -it is the other student activists who bear the most risk. Makes you wonder Ifthat is one of the reason behind thecavalier lethargy of the JNUSU leadership In backing up their high rhetoric with a real movement. Is .it surprising that one of thevictimized students could no longer trust this leadership and chose to oay the floe? It seems like a fardcal replay of the role of.

the Union leadership after the UGBM, when, despite the UGBM mandate against suspension and individual regret, JNUSUremained completely inactlve, leaving the suspended students at the mercy of the administration!Through out the course of the movement, the Union leadership has let down the students by refusing to mobilize andby bowing to the administration's pressure. In fact, the President and Joint Secretary belonging to SA once dissociated fromthe movement. SFI went to the extent of supporting proctorial witch hunt and demanded punishment for students who refusedto give Individual regret letters. This campus will not forget how the JNUSU president ran away with UGBM quorum sheets, andwhen the UGBM still happened and overwhelmingly rejected SFI's positions, he chose to abandon It with his followers. Evenafter the agreement, SFI is still trying to justify the administration's differential punishment In a roundabout way, by putting the.

onus of the 19 February demonstration on the 'ultra-left' (sic), Instead of sharing collective responsibility.

for it. Which makes the campus apprehensive-Is a real, uncompromising fight for complete revocation of.

all punishments before the registration deadline possible with this kind of leadership? .

Faulty Cut-off Criterion: Recognize and Fight the Administration's Ploys To Scuttle OBC Reservations! Th'.

JNUSU .

Reject Petty Politicking Against JNUSU Without Addressing the Real Issue at Hand!! ... ts .

All the results of the 2009-10 admissions in JNU have been released,revealing what JNUSU has been warning about for the pastone year. is the second year of the implementation of the OBC Reservation Act, and while the JNU administration claims ~o have ~eserved 18~o seats tor OBCcandidates, slightly morethan 14%seats have beenfilled under the OBC quota.In other words. there IS adeficit of almost 4 Yo this year, with more than 70 OBC seats not being filledby OBC candidates. The entire student community is witness to the factthatJNUSU has single-handedly been pinning the administration by pointing out the exactproblem at hand.It is the result ofcont1nuous struggles over thepast year,and the vigilance of the studentcommunity that the JNU administrationwas forced to correct some of the anomalies thatwe saw last year.The SC. ST, and PH seats in most centers have significantly improvedand by and large been filled this year. with some specific exceptions.However, the huge short-fall in fulfillment ofOBC seats shows how determined the JNU administration is toscuWe .

the constitutionally mandated OBC reservations. .

JNUSU has been pointing out the precise reason for this ma~sive shortfall -the faulty, illegal, and mischievous criteria that the JNU .

administration is using for setting the cut-off marks for OBC candidates: Wehave always maintained that this structural ftaw is the single most .

importantreason for the tact that several OBC seals remain unfulfilled.Thatis the reason why evenafter several other anomalies have been corrected, .

OBC sealsremain unfulfilled.After aprolonged JNUSU-Ied struggle last year,the administration was forced to set up twocommittees to look into the gross .

anbmalies in the 2008 adm1ssions process thatJNUSU had pointed out. The Aditya Mukherjee committee in particular was setup to look into the issue of .

the cut-offmarks for OBC candidates.The JNU administration however used the Supreme Court stay order on the JNUSU elections to keep the JNUSU .

out oflhe committees.eventhough itwas the studentcommunity that was primarily responsible·forbringing these issues to the fore.More shockingly, the .

.

JNU administration has used theAditva Mukhenee committee to endorse its patently illegal position. .

For the past one year.JNUSU has been leading the struggle for proper implementation of OBC reservations in the face ofaconcerted attack from .

the casteist forces well-entrenched in the JNU administration. Unfortunately, this struggle has been characterized by aconspicuous lack of .

.

support1 mobilization and opinion building by most student organizations on campus, who preferred to train their guns on JNUSU .

rather than focussing on this mischief of the administration. .

During last year's hungerstrike,when JNUSU was the only force to talk about thisreal impedimentofmanipulated cut-off mar'..:s being the main .

obstacle in fulfilling OBC seats, both the S'FI and the " OSU refused to acknowledge this as aproblem.During the entire mo;ement. far from .

extending minimum cooperation with the JNUSU, they raised extraneous issues and did their best todeflect the 'Nhole movement with routine .

abuses againsrJNUSU. .

.

Even till no·.v, they hav,e not issued asinglestatement recognizing thecentral gravityof this issue as the most crucial roadblockfor fulfillment of OBC reservations. We would like to ask these organizations: whose hands ultimately get strengthened when you indulge in such uninformed and irresponsible .

.

behavior? The entire range of anti-reservation forces both within and outside the JNU administration are thoroughly united intheir machinations to scuttle the potential ofOBC reservations.Inthis Situation. these organizations have adopted the most unfortunate tacfics of total silence on the .

actual impediments and engaging in relentless unfoundedabuses against the JNUSU as the only solution to the problem.Unless this crucial .criterion ofcu1-offmarks issolved,non-fulfillment ofOBC seats wifl remain apermanent problem notjust this year but for all days tocome no matter .

which organization isin charge of JNUSU.Therefore, their whole approach is nothing but that of extracbng pohllcal mileage at thecost ofbuilding aunited and all-round mobilization in defense of the real cause. Just because they are not in the JNUSU. thev perhaps believe that their .

responsibility begins and ends with abusing JNUSU. .

JNUSU believes that suoh politics of misinformation, abuse and deflection is doing 1mmense damage to the struggle.Such non-senousness and .

.

misinformed posturings by these organizations has been giving the administration (which is in any case hell-bent on denying the JNUSU any .

forum) an additional handle to trivialize this serious issue as agame ofpoliticking, rather than help to hold the administration accountable. .

JNUSU has been accused of "not holding asingle protest on the issue of OBC reservations,and only calling one protest meeting and one public .

.

meeting".The fact of the matter is that right from the time when the casteist forces led by theYFE were running acampaign against OBC reservations in .

JNU,the anti-reservation lobby in the campus has been countered with aspirited campaign through protest actions,wide mobilizations,hunger strikes and .

various other means ofopinion building.The need of the hour is to mobilize various sections inthe university and outside to expose and nail .

the administration for its continued calculated mischief on the cut-off question. Far from tokenism, mobilizing opinion from other campuses, .
