NSUI JNU WITHDRAWN FROM JNUSU LED AGITATION

Friends, Date: 4th march, 2009
NSUI withdraws from JNUSU’s ongoing struggle, taking in to account JNUSU’s and left organizations deliberate and blatant attempt to use anti-Manmohan Singh rhetoric and sloganeering to divert the focus from our real issues. It has been observed time and again that JNUSU leadership raise Lal salaam and other provocative slogans in all most all JNUSU Protest Demos and Processions simply ignoring activists of other organizations and a neutral majority who identify with the causes. JNUSU leadership also never heeds NSUI’s long standing demand for keeping JNUSU platform politically neutral. They indirectly promote their cadres to hurt the sentiments of activists from other organizations who sympathize with the causes for which JNUSU is fighting for. In the previous all organizations meetings called in view of UGBM and course of action, NSUI representatives repeatedly appealed to the JNUSU leadership to take note of this and take appropriate steps to prevent such unwanted ideological inclinations of the frenzy cadres.
If their cadres raise slogans of Lenin, Hochimin and Lal salaam in their party functions, it is well and good. What does the majority of JNU students have to do with these names? They should answer to the student community as to why they are unconsciously incorporating party hymns and images in to the minds of students, who identify with the causes, not with their ideology?
Apart from this, UPA and Manmohan Singh has been a constant target for the left and ultra left organizations throughout the protests. We all know the ‘innumerable mistakes’ that Manmohan singh did for the student community of our country- recognition of madrasa certificates for jobs, 27% OBC reservation, increase in UGC fellowships, Rajiv Gandhi fellowships, more UGC funds to JNU etc. What more Manmohan singh can do when a corrupted JNU administration is delaying everything right from the disbursal of Rajiv Gandhi &UGC fellowship or when a highly parochial JNUSU leadership disrupted his speech for narrow political mileage. What the visionary and timely opening up of domestic market to sustain the Indian economy in a changing world order has to do with the electric meter issue which is the creation of a few bankrupt teachers on campus ..
NSUI reminds the JNUSU leadership that they got extension through a UGBM mandate. How could the same JNUSU undermine the mandate of the recent UGBM to intensify the agitation by creating a human blockade in front of the Ad block? Having diluted the spirit of the movement and the UGBM (and having yielded to pressure of teachers who are leftists), AISA and SFI dared to stop the sale of the Forms for which UGBM has not given a mandate. If you have particular agenda, just implement it on your own. What is the point in calling all party meetings and UGBM to waste hours in meaningless discussion? Now the movement has lost its right direction mainly in the sense that our priority is now rustication. The same insensitive attitude was reflected in the workers’ issue previously. The administration is feeding on a political bankruptcy of JNUSU that doesn’t know how to prioritize our issues on time and how to reach the target with popular support.
The outcome of JNUSU’s prolonged struggle not in tandem with the UGBM mandate has mounted enormous distress on the minds of student community which is evident from yesterday’s event where a student climbed the 8th floor of the central library to vent his anger against the JNUSU and the administration for their anti-student and insensitive attitude towards our demands. Left and ultra left political parties can hold any false pride to inflate their anti-national ideology by not hoisting Indian flag on the occasion of Republic or Independence Day, denying felicitating our former President of India A.P.J.Abdul Kalam or disgracing our national symbols and emblems in their posters and pamphlets.But NSUI will not tolerate if this hedonist and anti-student, anti-national, undemocratic, non-secular, and unprogressive attitude is displayed and practiced by JNUSU leadership.
NSUI appeals to the student community to rally behind us and stand against those who wish to pollute the sacrosanct students’ body JNUSU to further their cynical goals and reap cheap political benefits in this campus.
