Appeal to the JNU Student Community

Dear friends,

One is witness to perhaps an unprecedented division among the student community in recent memory of JNU. In a context where the supreme interest of student community is at stake as a consequence of the stay on the JNUSU elections, absence of due process within the Joint Struggle Committee and engineered fracture in the student’s unity, we are making an appeal for unanimous action henceforth.

Amidst a manifest conflict between the optimists and pessimists of the campus, the undersigned call upon the student community to ensure that only those resolutions are placed before the 9th Feb. 2010 University General Body Meeting (UGBM) which can be passed unanimously. There are precedents for the same. This would strengthen the resolve of the entire student community to stand firm in face of the irrational and unconstitutional stay on the JNUSU elections. We are in an extra-ordinary situation akin to those instances wherein the most fractured legislatures both in India and in the world have passed unanimous resolutions. We demand that an all party meeting/JSC meeting should be convened urgently to finalize the text of teh resolution before the UGBM.

While this is an appeal for the entire JNU student community, it is primarily aimed at those students who are not affiliated to the political organizations. This is especially an invitation to those students who have so far been deprived the opportunity to participate in the student election process and to enrich JNU’s vibrant culture.

Saintly and sane interventions and conscience keepers have a role even in JNU campus. We invite the student community to endorse this call for unity for unanimity and for a consensual future course of political and legal action.
