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.”
