Resist the Sanghparivar conspiracy to Terrorise AMU
Campus Front National secretariat in a statement called up on the students across the nation to stand with AMU. Recent continuous attack towards minority institutes by the Sanghparivar through their paid media is an indicator of communal polarization befor the upcoming loksabha election. It is their need to create violence inside the AMU, campus for this they were spreading hate news continuously since the BJP came in to power. By stereotyping AMU as the terror hub they are forcing the other citizens to fight against a premier university which stood in forefront to uplift the secular democratic values of our country. AMU is far ahead than providing the idea of India to its students than the Hindutwa forces trying to impart the idea of Hindutwa to Indian culture. The Media houses are relentlessly trying to make defamatory arguments against the University in the name of Terrorism and Minority status. BJP leaders' demands to scrap the MUSLIM title from AMU is also an indication to this. Students are manhandled outside and Police officials are reluctant to file an FIR against a media person who used communal derogatory terms and goons who trespasses the university and filmed with out prior permission. Students of AMU marked their protest against this move and they were booked under sedition charge. The National Secretariat added that if the name and identity of Muslim was the only reason for attacking AMU. We should fight back and will kicked out the fascist mindsets from the campus. Campus Front extend its support and solidarity to the protesting students and urge all students to mark their protest against the state sponsored islamophobic conspiracy.
UAPA against Teltumbde clear instance of authoritarianism: Campus Front
Campus Front of India national committee in a press statement said that slapping UAPA charges on activist and academician Anand Teltumbde is a clear instance of authoritarianism and repressive measures adopted by Modi government. Earlier the activist was subjected to an overnight arrest from his residence along with four other activists by Maharashtra Police. Then the Supreme Court criticized the government in strong terms and made a comment that the 'Dissent is the safety valve of democracy'. Similar is the case of sedition charges framed against JNU students. The government seems undeterred on its move against the students despite the adverse reaction from the Patiala court.In all these cases the ruling party is openly misusing and manipulating the government machineries and tampering with investigating agencies to meet its on interests. National committee opined that the Modi government faced with an electoral setback is resorting to repressive measures against the dissenting voices. Recently the presence of a parliamentary opposition is not at all felt as the government is moving anti constitutional bills in the Parliament and getting them passed in an easy manner. The only opposition against the authoritarian policies of the government is the dissenting voices from among the Civil Society. Targeting such activists and silencing them raises serious concerns and is a potential hazard to the democracy. Campus Front exhorted the citizens to stand up against the undemocratic measures adopted by the government.National Committee termed the legislation of reservation for economically weaker sections as anti constitutional to its core and a blow to the prospects of empowerment of socially backward communities and expressed hope that the court which has always rose to safeguard democratic values will invalidate the new legislation. National president MS Sajid,General Secretary Rauf Shereef, Abdul Rahim, Atiya Firdous, S Mohammed Rashid, Kalim Tumkur, Atheeq Rahman spoke at the meeting.

State Governments should execute Supreme Court direction to curb lynching: Campus Front
State governments should take preventive, punitive and remedial measures to curb mob lynching as directed by the Supreme Court. Campus Front National delegation after visiting Azhar Khan's family, denounced the slipshod attitude of Rajasthan government which nurtures such incidents in the state. Azhar Khan was stabbed to death by a mob of hinduthwa fanatics at a place near to his village on 21st of this month. The allegation of polluting a temple river by Azhar and his brothers was actually a rumour as part of their plot to ferment frenzy and violence.The delegation stated that, the murder was precisely a deliberate attempt to prevail a fear over the Muslim community, and the police should unveil the conspiracy behind the lynching.The police force who is bound to safeguard the citizens has not yet ready to arrest any perpetrators who have been freely roaming in public.Their laxity and inaction evince the absence of law and order in the state and would promulgate a culture of impunity. Campus Front demands the police to enforce the law in stern by arresting all the culprits and deliver justice to the family. It is alarming that the people are forced to come out to the streets to ensure justice.The state goverments should give directions to the police force to adopt stringent actions to prevent lynching.The delegation was headed by MS Sajid Campus Front of India national vice president and accompanied by national Secretary Tabarak, Rajasthan state committee members Irfan and Noorul Islam.
