JNU orders enquiry into holding of Afzal Guru event despite no permission


New Delhi, Feb 10 (PTI): JNU administration today ordered a "discplinary" enquiry into holding of an event on campus against the hanging of Afzal Guru despite cancellation of permission, as protests by members of ABVP rocked the university demanding expulsion of the student organisers.

Maintaining that the act by students amounted to "indiscipline" and any talk about disintegration of nation cannot be "national", the university authorities said that the committee headed by the Chief Proctor of JNU will investigate the matter and come up with its report.

"The permission for the programme was sought by giving incomplete information, so it is an act of indiscipline. A committee headed by the Chief Proctor will examine the footage of the event and speak to the witnesses. It is on basis of the report, the varsity will take appropriate action," JNU Vice Chancellor Jagdeesh Kumar said.

Briefing about the "incomplete information", the varsity Registrar Zutshi said, " there was no where mentioned in the permission request that the event will be on Afzal Guru, they just said that they wanted to organise a cultural event. How can any talk about disintegration of nation be national?".

The student organisers of the event had pasted posters across the campus inviting them to gather for a protest march against "judicial killing of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt" and in solidarity with "struggle" of Kashmiri migrants, at varsity's Sabarmati dhaba yesterday.

Members of the ABVP objected to the event and wrote to the Vice Chancellor that such kind of marches should not be held on campus of an educational institution, prompting the university administration to order cancellation of the march as they "feared" that it might "disrupt" peace on campus.

But the organisers went ahead with the programme despite the cancellation of the permission and held a cultural programme, art and photo exhibition on the issue rather than a protest.

Agitated over the issue, ABVP members gathered outside VC office and shouted slogans demanding expulsion of the students.

JNU students' union joint secretary Saurabh Kumar, who is the only ABVP member in the union, said, "How can an event on Afzal Guru, who attacked the temple of democracy, be held here? We are demanding expulsion of those who organised it".

    Anti national activities are increasing because of ineffective central government which is a dangerous trend indeed.

    Some of these are definitely started within HCU and now spreading into all universities and political leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal and Kavitha will support them even when it is not correct. Mr. Rahul, Kejriwal & Kavitha of TRS are the ones who gave these students the much required political guidance by supporting them and i feel this issue is going to burn down the whole democracy of India. Now political parties will start contextualizing the democracy as per their need. Why is that National Investigating Agency not entering into the picture as these incidents seems to be something related to certain plan to create unrest in India by vested interests. I haven't heard of these kind of protests by the same dalit groups when congress was in power and that itself shows that something is wrong with the people inside these protests. Looks to me that someone trying to make universities as a breeding ground for some activities against India.

    Afzal guru and Yakub Memon are already hanged...Why don't our self proclaimed patriots urge hanging of killers of Rajiv gandhi and Punjab C.M which happened much more earlier to Afzal gurus attack...Why they are silent coz these people doesn't have particular name or belong to particular community...if they had you could shown your patriotism..or it is fear of backlash to Hindutva ideology due to protest of extremist Tamils and sikhs.....
    ...Now they are being more worried on talk of a already dead person ...coz they can't do politics on other two killings ...cowards

    Vemula Rohit is one of this kind. But some of the so called secular political parties and custodians of minorities and dalits used his suicide for political gain. But this JNU incident will definitely boomerang them, that also in Delhi...
