Last year, the JNUSU President from AJSA led the Union in determined initiaUves against corporatisation, communalism, viclimisation and in solidarity with peoples’ movements, in the face of an absconding VP, an inactive General Secretary and hostility and non-co-operaton on part ofall other office bearers and the councillors elected from .
the SFI-AISF. .
The whole year through, the ABVP ar.d its twin the JNUPF did nothing but indulge in lumpenism and violence, while the NSUI’s only activity last year was to defend the assault on workers in Gurgaon. .
Now, these forces gang up to claim that the last year has been a ‘year of retreat’. Indeed, it HAS been a year of retreat-retreat for communal forces, corporates like ~lestle, and for victlmisers of students! The SFJ-AISF is having to face questions about why they defended the UPA Government by blocking the National Convention during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, why only 7 of them participated in the student-karamchari March to HRD Ministry; why they stood in defence of the Nestle Outlet, why their non-appearance as witnesses against ABVP lumpens gave an excuse for the HarJit Singh Committee to become inactive; why they acted as agents of the Admin in the movement for Masood Aiam’s. admission; why they defended the repression in Jadavpurand M~nipur. Unable to answer these questions, unab-le tc contnbute meanmgful debate to the JNUSU polls, they have descended to the level of rumours and personal .
slander. .
AISA calls for a full mandate this year-to ensure an unfettered JNUSU that can carry forward our sociallysensitive model of struggle! .

JNUSU 2005 : A· Perspectiv_e .
I 4 .
As we go into the JNUSU elections this year, the challenges of corporatisation, communalism and assaultS on our democracy and national sovereignty fafe us. The UPA Govt. at the Centre, reflecting a consensus between the spectrum of ruling parties, is busy handing over life’s necessities to MNC hands: medicines are now an MNC monopoly, thanks ..1 to the killer Patent Amendment Act; health, power and even water is being corporatised = under World Bank pressure. The Congress-led UPA dealt a blow to India’s sovertignty by signing defence and nuclear deals with the US, and in return, succumbing to US imperia,list.
Q and fuelling Islamophobic designs against Iran; the UP~has also signea defence deals with racist killer regimes like that of Ariel Sharon in Israel, thus betraying the freedom struggle of Palestine. The policies of privatisacion and commercialisation ofedQcation continue Wlabated, and couns t0o have recently delivered a spate ofsocially insensirive, pro-commercialisation judgements: for example, scrapping SC/ST quotas in private colleges, while introducing quotas for .moneybag, NRis; another recent Allahabad mgh &>urt judgmentvirtually providing for 50% reverse reservation for non-reserved social groups; one qtiashing minority status and reservations in AMU; and another recommending curbs on Students Union elections. StudentS’ rights., campus democracy and peopl~’s movements are tmder attack-with Iathicaharge on students in Jadavpur University and shooting ofstudentS in Garo· Hills, and with the UPA Govt. retaining t:he draconian e.lements ofkiller laws like POTA and AFSPAin existing laws. On the question of communahsm, the UPA Govt. shamefully let the killers of 1984 anti~Sikh riots off the hook) has withdrawn cases of rioting from Uma Bharti) while failing ro b~ the Hindu Yuva Vahini cmd the Sangh-BJP brigades who are attempting to re-enact Gujarat in Mau: Signals f~om.~e homes ofGohana and looms ofMau are very clear: wherever the weaker secnons and mmontles gain a small degree ofeconomic empowerment, the feudal and fascist forces try to breal.N.s ~nti-people policies, has always ended up be~piu~ to legi~eth?se very same polictes: by vo~gfo~ the Patent Act1 by joining the Co-ordinanon Com:rruttee wrth the UPA.even after the UP.Ns blarantly pro-US foreign policy, by adopting tl1e same policies ofcorporatisation, crackdown on workers and privatisation in.
