Police have let loose terror upon universities and students across India flouting laws and norms that they should enter campuses only when respective heads of institutions ask them to. As per credible prima facia accounts of incidents, this bout of police raj that has begun with the brutal repression blitzed upon the students in Jamia Millia Islamia University in the national capital was a premeditated act by the police to which miscreants in plainclothes were also accomplices.
Certain comments about the apparels of miscreants have strongly indicated that the whole course was machination by the communal fascist government that feverishly targets the students as social section of the nation that has come up in a surging struggle against the communally biased, discriminatory and anti-constitutional Citizenship Amendment Act. This wave of student struggle has almost relived the heritage of Indian students' epic fights against British Raj as at this juncture of historic developments they have stood up for the republic against its saboteurs.
We condemn this police raj that has resorted to all nefarious tricks and brutalities and demand for thorough judicial inquiry upon matters of total events and circumstances and aftermath of police actions in Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi and the same regarding Aligarh Muslim University Utter Pradesh where the Director-General of Police has declared that the University campus would be evacuated.
We call upon all democratic forces to rally against this brutal Police Raj let loose upon the students, the vibrant buds of the generation that shall spring our future and close ranks in support the fight against the anti-constitutional Citizenship Amendment Act 2019.
We call upon all secular democratic and truly patriotic forces to rally in the national protest movement observing December 19 as Protest Day demanding to repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019.
