PRESS RELEASE
The arrest of Umar and indict of professors and leaders: BJP government is afraid of larger alliance in anti CAA movement
Campus Front National President MS Sajid in a statement strongly condemned the arrest of Umar Khalid in connection with Delhi genocide and indict of professors and political leaders by Delhi police in the supplementary charge-sheet. The police framed the charge-sheet based on the alleged statement of the arrested protestors in which they try to establish protesters' 'role' in the genocide and link with different organisations. The police added names of political leaders Seetharam Yechoori, Yogendra Yadav, professors Apoorvanand, Jayathi Ghosh and documentary filmmaker Rahul Roy in the charge-sheet. Subsequently the police had to deny the existence of such former statements when it was widely criticised. He stated that the BJP government is afraid of materialising larger alliance which claims constitutional rights. They were trying to create a rift in the anti-CAA movement by spreading hate against certain groups. The hindutva government's vilification campaign against each organisation of the larger anti-CAA movement by alleging their names with violence proves fervent effort to this end. It is very clear that the Delhi Police under the Home Ministry is making 'blank' charge-sheets as per the factfinding report published by RSS associates. The police have done no intervention against the real culprits who took the lives of 53 people during the genocide. They were not even called for an enquiry and still spouting hate in social media. Campus Front extends solidarity to all of those who are falsely incriminated and anti-CAA protestors who remains the target of Delhi police. The move to shield the real culprits of Delhi pogrom will not succeed but our slogans will again echo in the streets, he added.
I came to know from the media reports that an FIR has been lodged against me over a tweet regarding Kashmir issue. Constitution grants freedom of expression to everyone.
The constitutional rights of Kashmiris have been denied for many years and it's escalated since the abrogation of article 370 in August 2019. Speaking for the rights of Kashmiris is not a crime to book under 154 and 504. I believe every Kashmir citizen has equal rights as any other citizen enjoys in India. Because Kashmir and Kashmiris are part of our country. However, BJP government treats the matter in an anti-constitutional and undemocratic way. Hence we oppose it in all possible means. The FIR is an attempt to suppress the voice of dissent and I'm not the first person been targeted for criticising the govt. There are many behind jails but still their voices echoed everywhere. We will continue criticizing the government's anti-people policies and fight against hindutva.

FIR Against Campus Front National President : Ploy to Stifle Dissent
The move to register FIR against CFI National President MS Sajid over a tweet criticising human rights violations in Kashmir is a part of the ongoing witch-hunt against those who raise dissent against the BJP government. It is an attempt by the hindutva government to paint 'speaking for constitutional rights of Kashmiri people' as anti national. Modi government's policies on Kashmir generated more dissent than acceptance around the world which is evident from the ghastly unnatural measures the government had to adopt in order to enforce the abrogation of Article 370 against the will of Kashmiris and the ire of the nation. The denial of basic rights in Kashmir has escalated since August last year due to the imposing of communication blockade henceforth which has been pointed out by many activists and reputed organizations; notably the report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. But the BJP government is stubborn on not regarding any of them and tainting the dissenters playing on hyper nationalism.To that end the bigoted saffron brigade and uniformed police forces of the country are working hand in hand to repress disagreements. The narrative spawned by the RSS that any criticism directed against the government is an anti national activity doesn't hold with the spirit of democracy. Dissent provides the life blood to democracy is an idea cherished by our Constitution and upheld by the Supreme Court multiple times. RSS ambition of a dissent-less nation need to be vehemently opposed. The present move to crack down on differences, tarnish the organisation and target its leader is Ill motivated.
Writing off fugitives' loan outrageous: Campus Front of India
Campus Front General Secretary Rauf Shareef termed the writing off of 68000 crores of loan amount belonging to fugitives such as Mehul Choksi, Nirav Modi etc as highly outrageous and in effect a loan waiver for the cronies of BJP. The act waters down the commitment to recover the public money stolen by the wealthy businessmen. It is shocking that such a scandalous move has taken place at a time when the country was continuously touching economic low since years. The Modi government has been consistently starving the welfare activities in the country and selling off the stakes in public sector undertakings for want of revenue. It is an irony that the same government didn't find it unfair to carry out such a flagrant move. The justification that writing off non performing loans is just a normal technical procedure doesn't hold as the parties involved are fugitives, the legal process against whom is underway. The party who came to power with a promise to free India from the vice of corruption and black money is now working with utmost commitment to bring a breeding ground for it. CFI demands the government to immediately annul the action as it hurts the sentiments of the citizens deeply when the country is facing its darkest days ahead. #RBI #Loan

An open letter to Mark Zuckerberg
Mr. Mark, Zuckerberg. Chairman & CEO, Facebook Inc Menlo Park, California USA, 94025 Subject: Political bias of top officials of Facebook India and seeking immediate action against Ms Ankhi Das for her allegiance to hindutva groups that tear down communal harmony Dear, Mr. Zuckerberg, Hope you and your family are doing well. This communication is on behalf of Campus Front of India, a neo social students movement, which aim to develop a promising generation of youth which zealously safeguard the foundational values of the country. You might be aware of the story which was given by WSJ article titled "Facebook's hate speech rules collide with Indian politics" dated August 14, 2020. Followingly several reputed media covered the story in depth and detail. These reports reveal that the hate speech campaigns undertaken by BJP got adequate support from Facebook India in the backdrop of Delhi election. The reports categorically point to Ms. Ankhi Das (of Facebook India) who has provided the BJP with favorable treatment by diluting the safeguards of Facebook against hate speeches. The hate campaigns resulted in the drastic polarization and flaring up anti minority sentiments among the people which eventually led to Delhi genocide. This is a damning and serious allegation of Facebook India teaming up with a sectarian political agenda and interfering in India's electoral democracy. The government of Delhi state which inquired into the Delhi genocide has found deliberate and intentional inaction of Facebook to contain hateful content in India for vested reasons, which led to the government's Peace and Harmony Committee to summon the officials of Facebook India. As you would be mindful, India's ruling regime led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) patronise an ideology which promotes Hindu majoritarian state and spread hatred against minorities. BJP has been consistently using Facebook and WhatsApp to divide people along religious lines and further communal agenda like abrogation of 370 Act in Kashmir, CAA- NRC Act etc. The police has also pointed to widespread use of Facebook and WhatsApp for mass manufacturing and propagation of vile, hateful communal content to incite violence during Delhi pogrom. India is one of the largest democratic country in the world and we expect that Facebook will not collude with BJP for destroying secular and democratic nature of the country. India is one of the biggest markets in terms of userbase for Facebook and WhatsApp. It is the urge of the people of India that Facebook which stands for connecting people should not foster a divisive group as BJP. We hope Facebook to be more committed to its social and moral responsibility to the people of India rather than an unprincipled drive to profit. Permit us to humbly suggest the following course of action. 1. Set up a high-level investigation and inquiry into the operations and practices of Facebook India. 2. Ms. Ankhi Das, of Facebook India must be terminated with immediate effect. 3. Ensure a more diverse Facebook India team representing various sections of population. Campus Front of India believed that this is a matter of grave concern to our nation and to the world. We sincerely hope that you treat this issue with utmost priority. Thank you.
