Terming vi­o­lence on JNU stu­dents and teach­ers as fully state-spon­sored, un­leashed through the BJP’s stu­dent wing Akhil Bharatiya Vid­yarthi Parishad -ABVP goons, Pun­jab po­lit­i­cal par­ties -Dal Khalsa and Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal (Am­rit­sar) squarely blamed it on the In­dian Home Min­is­ter. They de­manded the res­ig­na­tion of Amit Shah for his role and the im­me­di­ate re­moval of Delhi po­lice com­mis­sioner for his ab­ject fail­ure and com­plic­ity of his forces against stu­dents.

AFTER THOR­OUGH DE­LIB­ER­A­TIONS AT A MEET­ING held at the Dal Khalsa of­fice in Am­rit­sar, af­ter tak­ing stock of the de­te­ri­o­rat­ing po­lit­i­cal sit­u­a­tion in In­dia and tak­ing cog­ni­sance of the shock­ing and bar­baric vi­o­lence on JNU stu­dents and teach­ers, se­ri­ously in­jur­ing stu­dent leader Aishe Ghosh and a dozen teach­ers, SAD (Am­rit­sar) and Dal Khalsa have called for the res­ig­na­tion of In­dian Home Min­is­ter Amit Shah, for his di­rect role in threat­en­ing stu­dents and cit­i­zens of this coun­try, who were op­pos­ing tooth and nail – the CAA and NRC.

Re­fer­ring to the state­ment of Amit Shah in the past, when he had de­meaned JNU stu­dent lead­ers of both the po­lit­i­cal par­ties cat­e­gor­i­cally al­leged that Shah has de­moted him­self by now im­ple­ment­ing his agenda through vi­o­lent goons, with masks and cover of win­ter dark­ness on stu­dents in their hos­tels within the JNU cam­pus.

SAD (Am­rit­sar) head Sim­ran­jit Singh Mann said that “the Naren­dra Modi gov­ern­ment has played havoc with the lives of uni­ver­sity stu­dents and Mus­lims of Ut­tar Pradesh.  The un­pro­voked vi­o­lence against Jamia and JNU stu­dents was part of the same de­sign and Home Min­is­ter was fully re­spon­si­ble for this brazen and bla­tant act of vi­o­lence.”

Dal Khalsa pres­i­dent Harpal Singh Cheema said, “ the bar­baric vi­o­lence at JNU, fol­low­ing the foot­steps of Jamia and AMU was a grim re­minder that the BJP gov­ern­ment will not re­lent from its fas­cist path and will go all out to im­ple­ment the Gu­jarat model all across the coun­try, ir­re­spec­tive of the con­se­quences to the life and lib­erty of dis­sent­ing stu­dents, teach­ers, opin­ion-mak­ers, civil so­ci­ety mem­bers and hu­man rights de­fend­ers.”

Amit Shah must go, said Dal Khalsa spokesper­son Kan­war Pal Singh and added that the BJP’s croc­o­dile tears can­not hide the dirty truth of ABVP vi­o­lence on girl stu­dents and teach­ers at JNU.

“The croc­o­dile tears of Amit Shah and mem­bers of the BJP cab­i­net will not heal the wounds of the stu­dents and teach­ers bru­tally at­tacked and in­jured last night in a well-planned at­tack, with the full con­nivance of the po­lice in the na­tional cap­i­tal of the coun­try,” read the Dal Khalsa state­ment.

Kan­war Pal Singh said, “The Delhi Po­lice com­mis­sioner must go, all guilty po­lice who stood mute wit­ness and the ABVP goons must be booked and tried for an at­tempt to mur­der.”
