Join JNUSU's call for
People's March to Save Democracy
Against Continuing Crackdown and Witch-Hunt by the University and State Machineries at the Diktats of the BJP govt!
15 March, Mandi House to Jantar Mantar, 2.00pm
#StandWithJNU #JusticeForRohitVemulla
Amit Shah has assured the RSS conclave on Sunday that the Central Government will not compromise with the RSS ideology in any of its decisions; the Modi Government's “actions will be dictated by ideology for which BJP was established” – an open declaration that it is the RSS and its hate-filled communal, casteist, patriarchal and pro-colonial ideology which the Modi Government obeys. The RSS cannot and will not change its thoughts even though it may change its shorts. And Shah has promised the RSS that the Modi Government will purge campuses of ‘anti-nationals’ (read anti-RSS elements). So more Rohiths, more JNUs are in the sights of RSS guns.
In last one month students, teachers and common people of Delhi have poured out onto the streets time and again in thousands against the massive crackdown by BJP govt on HCU and now in JNU. People across the country are joining protests everyday in different campuses and states.
Friends, on March 15, let us march in thousands in love and solidarity with our comrades who are still facing incarceration and witch-hunt. We have to keep alive our universities and our democracy!
We want Umar and Anirban to be free, once again among us – to be their committed, concerned, argumentative selves. We want to be able to embrace them, argue with them. We want to make sure that not a single JNU student or student anywhere in the country is subjected to a political witch-hunt in the name of a biased, fixed ‘enquiry’ – we won’t allow a repeat of the Rohith witch-hunt in JNU. We want Prof Geelani free. We want Prof Nivedita Menon free to speak to us, challenge us, provoke us to question our fixed and 'favourite' notions, be they about fixed gender borders between male and female, or other fixed binaries. We want to hear Gauhar Raza’s moving poems in his inimitable voice. We want the sedition law struck off the law books, and we want the Rohith Act enacted. Smriti Irani, who misused ministerial power to witch-hunt and peddle lies, must go!
We who they thought they buried are seeds, and Rohith’s and JNU’s dreams of freedom will spread and grow like a tree, like a forest – how many and how fast can the Sangh chop us down?
