Santosh Snehi Mann threw out all charges against him in all five cases in Delhi bomb blasts for lack of.
any evidence that could prove that he had conspired to bomb various places in Delhi in 2008..

· In 2007, the Tamil Nadu SIT exposed how police had fabricated evidence to arrest five members of.
Manitha Neethi Pasarai (MNP) on the charges of conspiring to bomb hospitals in Coimbatore..
.
· In 2008, it was exposed that Delhi Police had picked up Tariq Ahmed Batloo at the Delhi airport, but.
falsely claimed to have arrested him from his hideout in Kashmir..
.
· In another case, the CBI exposed how two police informers Mohammad Qamar and Irshad Ali were.
declared terrorists of Al-Badr group by the Delhi Police special cell..
.
The miscarriage of justice is clearly not confined to an isolated case here and there - it permeates the.
very process and procedures of investigations - and will do so until we insist on a no-tolerance policy for.
such procedures. What Aseemanand's confession and the trail of investigations kicked off by Hemant Kark-.
are have laid bare is the dangerous extent to which terror investigations are tainted by majoritarian communal.
prejudice. If hundreds of Muslim youth were branded as `masterminds' and arrested, tortured, jailed and.
even declared convict of crimes which Aseemanand now confesses were perpetrated by saffron groups,.
it raises a serious question about the credibility of our investigative and judicial process. It is important.
to point out: had Aseemanand not had a change of heart and confessed, then communal profiling and scape-.
goating of minorities by the investigative agencies and a pliant media would have continued unquestioned!.

Compensate the Victims of Witch-hunt.

While we need to be vigilant that the investigations are now not derailed by prejudice of security agencies.
and state governments; the issue of compensation to those unjustifiably arrested and tortured needs to be ad-.

.
Dr. Haneef's case in Australia--where the Australian government apologised and paid undisclosed large.
sums of money as compensation for wrongful terror accusations and detention--should serve as a model for.

Contrast this with the attitude of the Andhra Pradesh Government, which chose to offer a rehabilitation.
package of Rs 30,000 -Rs 80,000 as loans (!) to those who suffered arrests and torture can only add insult to.
the already inflicted injury ("Andhra's `Healing Touch' to `innocent' Muslims", Indian Express, 14 Nov 2008)..
Just for the sake of record, even these loans have not materialised!! On the other hand, the state government is.
contesting the damages of Rs 20 lakhs each being claimed by the victims in the Hyderabad City Civil Court..

In Azamgarh, the families of the boys killed in the Batla House `encounter' still await justice. They are being.
used as political fodder by the Congress leader Digvijay Singh - but the Government has outright refused to.
submit the encounter to an impartial probe! Other young men from the same area continue to be jailed, hunted,.
and branded as `terrorists' for the `crime' of being Muslims from Azamgarh!.

The.se are just a few ~.f the numerous instances of state clampdown on democratic voices who uphold the politics0!dl~s~nt t? th~ ~re~a1llng order. They have challenged this oppressive system, its entrenched exploitation, dlscnm1na~1on, InJUStice or state repression. This branding of people in a sweeping manner and thereby justifying all sorts of repress1on on them is a fascist tactics adopted by the Indian state to silent all voices of dissent against it, be it in the name of fighting Maoism or 'Islamic terrorism'. But people have refused to buckle under the terror-tactics of the state. Shahid Azmi's brother Khalid Azml has taken over the cases to fight for the people. The PCAPA and CMAS have elected their new president and the fight goes on. Shamim Modi refuses to give up. The first thing Maulan Nasiruddin said after he came out on bail was 'US imperialism down down'. Himanshu Kumar has made a makeshift ashram to continue his activities. So will all the people and all the democratic organisations despite all the attempts by the state to .
silence their voices, to clamp down on them. .
The Indian state and its ruling elite have completely surrendered to its imperialist masters especially the US. .
And thereby has turned into a loyal foot soldier in the US declared 'war against terror'. But who is a terrorist in its .
definition? Anyone who Uncle Sam deems to be one; and anyone who challenges its hegemony and unquenched thirst .
for super-profits, for people's resources. It was first the Muslims who were made the targets of US-backed war against .
Islam to facilitate its grabbing of oil. The next in line are the adivasis. The Maoists who are organising the most .
downtrodden and exploited of our society into a political force has been singled out as the greatest impediment to the .
imperialist loot of mineral and natural resources. So anyone who now speaks against this massive plunder of resources .
and the ruthless dispossession of people from their livelihood can be branded as a 'Maoist' and thereby booked under .
the repressive UAPA or simply 'encountered'. .
.
The Indian state therefore is baring its fascist face, shedding all Its pretensions to even look like a ~democracy'. .
While prices of essential commodities are sky-rocketing, the government's annual budget is reflecting the wish-list of .
corporales and feudal interests, pushing the poor of the country towards destitution and death. The disgruntlement of the .
people fail to bother Chidambaram-Maonmohan, though its own Arjun Sengupta Report has revealed that more than .
77% of India's total population is forced to live on twenty rupees a day. Instead of improving the situation the Indian state .
chooses to facilitate further massive plunder of resources and huge corporate land grab for the Indian big bourgeoisie .
and MNCs. The passing of the SEZ Act was a decisive step in this direction. Hundreds of Memorandums of .
Understanding (MoUs) with mostly foreign MNCs now await implementation, turning the adivasi regions into a MoUist .
corridor. But for this the state needs to forcibly remove the 90 million adivasis, who by the state's own definition are me .
real owners of these resources. The government's own Report terms it as the 'biggest land grab after Columbus'... This .
open declared war will go down as the biggest land grab ever, if it plays out as per the script," said the government report .
commissioned by the rural development ministry. But the union home minister, a proven lackey of the US, has a .
dream that 80% of India will live in the cities one dayl Does not matter if most of this 'neo-urban population' comprise .
of those who have been displaced out of their homeland forcibly by the armed forces and herded to the cities to live in .
.
the slums. The government is desperate to drive people out of the mineral rich areas and from the agricultural lands to .
hand it over to its corporate masters. But the growing resistance of the people, and the democratic voices supporting .
them, stands in the way of turning the dreams of the ruling class into a reality. .
.
So a well organised military offensive is the policy adopted by the fascist Indian state. The state first declared the Maoist movement which has been organising the most dispossessed section of the population -the tribals, dalits and backward castes against this state-as a 'terror outfit'. Thereafter, to exterminate the 'terrorists' it has launched a massive 'Operation Green Hunt'. The target of this hunt is not just the Maoists but anybody the state considers to be an impediment in implementing the MoUs done with Vedanta, Tata, Posco, Mittal, Essar and hundreds of its likes. So far more than 200 people have been killed under Operation Green Hunt since November 2009 in various places of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Maharashtra and West Bengal. The government has launched joint operations in many regions. with state police, para-military forces, CRPF and the specialized forces like the CoBRA, Grey Hound, Jaguars, Octopus, c-60 etc. The uses of choppers and drones have also been approved. This is an attack on the people of an unprecedented scale. It is natural that progressive and democratic sections in the country and outside-the intellectuals, activists, writers, students etc-will vehemently oppose such an extermination campaign of the state. .
A worldwide campaign has already started against the Operation Green Hunt. The state is responding with McCarthy-style witch hunt to silence all other voices of dissent which seeks to criticize the stat's policies and also to build a resistance against it. The branding of all democratic voices as 'terrorist', 'aid to terrorist' 'sympathiser' is the policy which the state is trying to adopt. The regions where the military offensive is going on have been cut-off from fact finding teams, activists, even the media. The government is desperate to execute this genocide in silence. So it's necessary that all the democratic voices that are rising in protest should be silenced too. But let us not be intimidated by the state's brutal offensive. As George Orwell said, "In a time ofuniversal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act". And truth stands with the uncompromising fight of the most exploited and dispossessed sections of the population for their land, lives, livelihood, dignity ... for a new society. .

in the issues that AISA raises; they are simply meant for scoring brownie points vis-a-vis others. For instance. when RMP leader TP Chandrashekharan was killed in Kerala in May 2012, AISA launched a full scale attack against the SFI in JNU for defending the murderers, despite the SFI-JNU unit categorically condemning the gruesome murder and demanding punishment of the guilty "irrespective of political affiliations". The JNUSU President and another Councl11or from the A/SA also visited TP Chandrashekharan's home in Onchiyam. However, ever since the "dissolution" and the coming into being of SFI-JNU, AISA and the JNUSU office-bearers have conveniently dropped the TP Chandrashekharan murder issue from their agenda: it also does not find any mention in the SIS or SSS Convenor's reports! Is this because the AISA feels it is no longer going to yield electoral dividends in JNU? Isn't it opportunistic to play cheap politics on the murder of a committed Left leader, who was also an ally of the CPI-ML Liberation? .
Immediately after the last JNUSU elections, the newly elected JNUSU President from the AI SA had remarked that the mandate "is in favour of people's movements struggling against SEZs, AFSPA and Operation Green Hunt". Has the JNUSU President or anybody else from the AJSA taken a single initiative over the past six months to raise the issues of repeal of the AFSPA, or scrapping the SEZ Act or stopping "Operation Green Hunt''? The only SEZ AISA was interested in opposing was the one in Nandigram, as if no more SEZs are being built or opposed in other states today. Opposing Greenhunt has become unnecessary for the AISA today, because the Left Front government in West Bengal no longer exists. Like Mamata Banerjee, who once opposed the killing of Maoist leader Azad and later once m power ordered the killing of another Maoist leader Kishenji herse~. AISA's posturing on ~Greenhunt" too is highly opportunistic. Similarly, AFSPA was an 1ssue for the AI SA till the March 2012 JNUSU elections just because it wanted to attack "CPI (M)'s double-speak" on AFSPA and not because it is serious about the state repression unleashed under the AFSPA regime either in Kashmir or the North-East. In contrast, over 25 members of the SFI-JNU unit along with the AISF travelled to Srinagar by road in May 2012 to participate in a Convention on the Democratic Rights of Kashmiri Youth and joined in adopting a resolution demanding withdrawal of AFSPA and other democratic rights of the Kasmiri people. .
When such electoralism has been the hallmark of AISA's politics, does it befit the AI SA to indulge in name-calling? .
SFI·JNU: PRINCIPLED POSITIONS, TRANSPARENT AGENDA .
The AISA is vainly trying to create confusion over the political positions adopted by the SFI-JNU and its future agenda, which have been transparently communicated to the student community. A General Body Meeting of the SFI-JNU Un1t held on 13111 July 2012 had resolved that it would continue to abide by the SFI Programme and Constitution and express unstinted solidarity with all pro-people initiatives, struggles and movements launched by the left and democratic forces against the anti-people neoliberal reg1me. The SFI-JNU resolved to fight against ultra-left sectarianism of the AI SA, firmly oppose the DSU which espouses Maoist violence and also criticize and counter the right-opportunist and anti-people trends within any section of the Indian left and their manifestations in JNU. SFI-JNU also resolved to adopt a non-sectarian approach towards student struggles, relentlessly fight for issues concerning JNU students, work for broad based unity among progressive and democratic student organizations and initiate meaningful debates on socialism in the 21st century. .
It was on the basis of this agenda that 96 comrades who were former members and sympathisers of the SFI in JNU, including .

senior faculty members of JNU like Profs. CP Chandrashekhar, .
Jayati Ghosh, Mohan Rao, Ritoo Jerath and Vivek Kumar and .

across the country, who are opposing the dissolution of the JNU unit .
within the SFI organisation and trying to reverse the decision. .
.
SFI-JNU has received a valuable solidarity message from \)1// , eminent Left intellectual Dr. Ashok Mitra saying: "If you have ~0 0 searched your conscience and it has endorsed your judgement that ~ what you are embarking upon is in defence of your cherished \'\ ~ ideology and you are prepared to go all the way to face the 't\ ' consequences of your dec1s1on. please do go ahead. It has happened so often in history that elders leading a movement have made mistakes wh1ch the JUniors through their initiative have got reversed. But they had to go through intense sufferings.. .By all means argue fiercely w;th those who were tJ/1 yesterday your closest comrades. but please take care to avoid rancour in the exchanges you get involved in and. let the mitiative of a formal breach come -if it has to come -not from your dJrecllon. None should be allowed the chance of cla1ming that they did not sever the fraternal/inks but you opted out of your-own ...The battle to protect the purity of the ideology can never be a lost cause; the final victory is bound to be ours." .
It is this advice from an eminent intellectual) whom even the AISA hails as an authentic voice of dissent within the Left that currently guides the SFI-JNU. If the AISA considers all this as "shadow boxing", it only exposes its political bankruptcy and narrow-minded sectarianism. .
TOWARDS A NON -SECTARIAN, PROGRESSIVE AND DEMOCRATIC STUDENT MOVEMENT: In order to understand the issues in the debate surrounding the SFI-JNU. AISA needs to look beyond the triv1a and focus on the more serious and substantive views from the Left, which are also available in the cyberspace. Aditya Nigam wrote the following 1n the kafila org: ~The leadership of SFI-JNU deserves to be congratulated for the forthnght manner in which it has taken a posit1on on some of the most crrtical issues that concern the future of the Left 1n lnd1a. It is futile at this juncture to ask the k1nd of quest1ons that are usually asked of people who dec1de at some point to speak up; why did you not speak up earlier? Why did you support the decision to do X? Why did you not quit when Nandigram actually took place? There is no correct and proper time to speak up. To speak up publicly, that is. There is always a time-lag between this public expression of dissent and its initial articulations in the 'proper party forums'. It always takes a long. long time before people actually decide to set aside considerations of 'discipline' -and that is a moment of reckoning for people who are serious about their politics." .

Shrinking Public Spaces: Challenges of Contesting Common Sense .
Friends, In most campuses, as in most of our society, political spaces are full of intimidation and violence for women who choose to enter it. In the elections in neighbouring Jamia, for instance, there is not a single woman candidate. In JNU, on the other hand, we find women participating in the public space and in politics in relatively larger numbers. This is the result of the long history of Left and democratic activism, which has carved out a space where women have been able to shape political discourse and bring the issue of gender sensitivity to the political mainstream. However, there has also been a undercurrent of gendered rumour-mongering and sexually coloured myths about women activists of the Left: most students have heard the myths about women from radical Left groups being available, being willing for group sex, and so on. The recent intensification of this trend of gendered taunts and abuse against women in the public sphere should concern us deeply. Recall incidents where women who are political opponents are branded by right-wing forces as prostitutes, and where even a Left activist can publicly call a woman a bitch and tell her to behave yourself. .
Gendered Abuse As A Political Weapon .
What is the politics of gender abuse in political life? Gender abuse as a political weapon is the polite counterpart of rape as a political weapon: both are used to silence and punish women who are either political opponents, or belong to communities/parties who are the enemy. The landmark Vishaka Judgment against sexual harassment was, after all, an offshoot of the legal activism of feminist groups around the gang-rape case of the Dalit saathin Bhanwari Devi. Women activists had argued, then, that the rape of one saathin was preceded by repeated sexual harassment and sexual threats by powerful dominant caste leaders against many saathins. Had the sexual harassment been nipped in the bud and punished, the rape that followed could have been prevented. This is not to say that gendered abuse in JNU will literally lead to rape; it is only to point to the violence and hostility that underlie gendered comments and lewd or suggestive remarks against women activists. So gender abuse cannot be taken any less lightly than any incident of violence. .
Questions of Institutions, Collective Mobilisation and Action .
How can we combat such gendered abuse and prevent it from shrinking the political space for gender and womens participation in our campus? No doubt, through collective action of the student community. The question is, what shape should that collective action take, in order to mobilise the widest section of the campus and marginalise the anti-women forces and the right-wing discourse? It would be misplaced to argue that filing a complaint with GSCASH must mean that women must give up political mobilisation or collective action. But in JNU, isnt collective action more effective when it is not limited to a small handful of individuals? Slapping ones abuser may be the desirable and necessary on the public bus, where political mobilisation is not an option. Even on campus, a slap as a spontaneous reaction of a common woman student against a sexual harasser can be understood and defended. The problem arises when it is offered as the model of collective political action by political activists. For Left women activists, is it not far more urgent to campaign widely, to mobilise students in political actions to break the anti-woman common sense, and ensure punishment for sexual abusers, rather than emphasise retaliation by a small number of people? An act of retaliation is unfortunate not because it undermines institutions like GSCASH, but because it undermines and hampers wider and more participatory forms of political mobilisation and collective action, which the student movement in JNU has evolved over time. .
Stop Pitting Gender and Caste Against Each Other .
However, we must emphasise that while we may differ with personal retaliation as a form of protest, we must not allow the issue of gender abuse to be swept under the carpet. Some hard questions need to be answered. Last nights ABVP leaflet speaks about Ritesh as though he were a common Dalit student with no political affiliations. What is the truth? Ritesh is a member of the JPF, and is close to notorious lumpens like Siddarth Rai. Since his roommate Mrityunjay belongs to the DSU, arguments or even quarrels between them are hardly surprising. But gendered abuse directed against women activists is indefensible, as is the physical assault by Ritesh against his roommate, aided by Siddarth Rai and other JPF leaders. Ritesh has alleged casteist abuse and violence by the women activists who confronted him. Any allegation of caste abuse must be enquired into, and anyone found guilty must be punished. But it would be dangerous to allow the issue of caste to silence, obscure or justify the issue of gender abuse. .
