[Marxistindia] On order to vacate JNU Students Union office

[news from the cpi(m)]

Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
The JNU authorities have ordered that the office of the JNU Students Union
should be vacated. This is the latest and flagrant attempt to suppress the
elected student body.
 
The University authorities had refused to notify the Union for the previous
year 2018-19 too. This is being done despite the judicial scrutiny which
legitimized the election to the JNU Students Union this year, where students
have participated in very large numbers. All this is part of efforts to stop
all democratic activity on the campus. Students and teachers are being
targeted for standing up for their rights.
 
Under the Modi government all central educational institutions are being
subject to regimentation and academic freedom and democratic rights are
under assault.
 
The CPI (M) demands the withdrawal of the order to vacate the Students Union
office. The University should notify the new Students Union and not hinder
its functioning.
