Young India Against CAA-NRC-NPR
Just like the first tenure of the Modi government, the second tenure is proving doubly disastrous for the country. Movements against massive fee hikes have erupted in campuses across the country and the dangerous National Education Policy has been placed in the public domain. India is unfortunately witnessing the highest unemployment levels it has seen since its independence. On top of this mounting economic and employment crisis, both houses of the Parliament have recently passed the anti-constitutional, communal and divisive Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
People of India are resisting the dangerous design of the divisive CAA and All India National Register of Citizens (NRC) with heroic grit and determination braving all repression. The student-youth of the country is in the front row of resistance to the threat that CAA-NRC poses to the democratic and inclusive character of India enshrined in our constitution. Right from mass mobilizations in the Guwahati, Cotton and Dibrugarh Universities to massive protests in Bengal, Bihar, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kerala and UP, literally every part of our country has stood up to defend our constitution. Students of Jamia and AMU faced massive repression from police. In BJP ruled states, particularly UP and Assam, repression and incarceration of protestors is growing by the minute. But this did not deter students and democracy loving people; they are pouring out in ever larger numbers.
It is need of the hour to develop coordination between protesting students/organisations/unions on a national scale and enhance its scope and impact. More than 50 Student and Youth organisations, including Student unions, student-youth movements from public and private universities i.e. IITs, state universities, civil society and others have come together to defend the constitution of India. In this context, we invite you for a Press Conference to declare a joint course of action to intensify the movement against CAA-NRC in every possible manner. Student-Youth leaders have launched the platform Young India Against CAA-NRC-NPR.
We believe CAA is anti-Muslim and is thus communal and divisive. An All India NRC will disenfranchise crores of Indians, including Muslims and India’s poor and underprivileged. Their citizenship rights will be snatched away. It will throw the poor and the marginalised from all communities into an abyss of sheer insecurity devoid of rights. And as a first step to NRC, the central government has brought in the National Population Register (NPR). The NPR is not a simple population-counting exercise; it is the first step towards declaring citizens as ‘doubtful’ or illegal citizens.
Last year in December, around this time, the student and youth of the country who resisted and faced the Modi government’s anti-education, anti-employment and anti-youth policy assaults decided to get together under a united banner to launch a decisive movement. Large number of student-youth organizations, movements and unions got together to form the Young India National Co-ordination Committee. Thousands of youth from all across the country marched on the streets of Delhi last February demanding education, employment and freedom of speech.
In the face of the grave threat of CAA-NRC thrust by the Modi regime, the Young India forum will actively take part in the anti-CAA/NRC movement in the country. *We will observe the first day of the New Year as a beginning of a year of struggles for rights and dignity of the people of this country. We will observe the day with the slogan: ‘New Year’s Resolution – Defend Constitution’.*
*We will democratically, peacefully take forward the movement! This is just a start, the end will be victory of Constitution.
