Left-affiliated All India Students’ Union on Monday condemned Delhi University’s notice asking students to mandatorily take prior permission to hold protests and demanded its withdrawal. The body said the notice is only a means to curb democratic practice in the campus and AISA will never seek permission from the DU administration for protests.
AISA and other Left organizations submitted a memorandum to Dean Student Welfare, asking students to take “permission” before holding protests and other events in connection with a notice issued by DU Proctor Rajni Abbi. The students said that neither the students have ever taken permission before nor will they ask for it now. “The notice is merely a means to increase surveillance on campus and curb democratic practice and the students of DU unanimously reject it,” AISA said.
“We will never ask your permission to protest on our premises,” the statement said. “AISA condemns this autocratic act of the proctor and demands immediate quashing of the notice,” he said. Meanwhile, Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (KYS) wrote an open letter to the Proctor of Delhi University condemning the recent notice.
“This right cannot be curtailed by any illegal order/notice from the officials of DU. Even the notice mentions that protest is a legal right of every individual, yet it is mentioned in a very contradictory manner that permission has to be taken for organizing protests,” he said. KYS asked the proctor’s office to withdraw the notice immediately. KYS said, “Moreover, the students should apologize for coming up with such an undemocratic notice, and ensure that the democratic ethos of the university is not destroyed and the constitutional rights of every citizen are upheld.” “
