1. The recent press release of NSUI which was published in local dailies communicate that their membership drive was a success by recruiting 475 voters in KU. If you have a look at the official website of NSUI, you can find the member list of J&K and KU in particular, wherein the complete list of the students involved in this heinous affair is available even mentioning the department & the batch they belong to. It comes as a surprise to see that the total no. of students out of the 6000 plus students of KU is only 110. Out of the 110, only 37 votes have been polled. And out of these 37, 80% belong to a particular batch of Dept. of Law.
2. It is but obvious from the list that NSUI has published on their website that they have managed to rope in only one or two pro-active workers who belong to the particular batch of L.LB. Logical instinct leads me to believe that these pro-active workers either have a pro-Indian family background or have some support from a faculty member of the department.
3. The PRO of Kashmir University recently issued a press release wherein he mentioned that NSUI does not exist in varsity, based on the information found on the website either the PRO’s statement Is blatant lie or KU administration is not doing their job well.
4. Authorities in KU had banned every sort of student activism as they say it does pertain to academics. I would like to question what according to them comprises the domain of academic activism. Is it the unfair recruitments (an example being a student of home science being appointed as PRO), Is it the sponsored meeting of selected few with Indian ministers of the rank of Kapil Sibal & Rahul Gandhi or Is it the cases of alleged sexual harassment by officials of University (Zafar scandal) or is it the Christian conversion controversy with some professors being allegedly involved in it.
5. Talking of political activism which the authorities fear & over which the KUSU office was demolished, I want the authorities to make their stand clear whether they think protesting against the Shopian Double rape & murder case and killings of innocent school going youth amounts to politics.
6. According to my information the election of this 35 member voter list was held at the residence of a lady who calls herself Rabia Baji & claims to be a revert . She runs an NGO which facilitates social programs for CRPF & Indian Army. The recent Shehar-e-Khaas U-14 cricket tournament played at the Kashmir University grounds where General Hasnain & IG of Indian police SM Sahai were chief guests was also facilitated by her. I would like to question this “Baji” how in the world does she fit in, to facilitate NSUI elections.
7. Taking into consideration the volatile environment in Kashmir majority of the students cannot afford to put their careers & lives at stake by aligning themselves with the real representatives (HURRIYAT-G) of the people, for they have no desire to become a resident of another unmarked grave. So, I wonder what the KU administration is really afraid of. It’s but obvious the suppression of genuine student voice is a pretext to inhibit us from speaking on behalf of the people of Kashmir.
8. I honestly believe that even this voter list is fake & these 110 students in the list of NSUI have been fold into something they have no idea of. They should come out in public as far as their stand over this matter is concerned or else their silence will be taken as admission to the guilt they are involved in.
9. Some students pursuing MBBS in GMC & JVC are also a part of the voter list. It should be of no surprise that out of these students majority of them with their names like Rahul & Akash are from Jammu.
10. All these activities & the silence of local pro-Indian political parties compelled me to believe that it all is a part of big conspiracy which has been hatched to strengthen the roots of Indian military occupation in Kashmir & to show to the outside world that Indian sentiment is prevalent amongst the youth of Kashmir, with some important officials of KU being a part of this conspiracy.
It is my appeal to the pro-people intellectuals of Kashmir to speak & question the KU administration on my behalf, for their silence will amount to acceptance of defeat.
