Press Release by AMU students for Justice on Law Faculty Issue

As of today, the credible image of university has been distorted by the sexual harassment case reported from a prestigious faculty at AMU against a now suspended, senior professor of the university creating a bad name of the campus. 

We, the students at AMU find it our primary responsibility to stand for honour and dignity of the institution and all that is associated with our alma mater. In this regard we voice our concerns through this protest march. 


In the light of above mentioned, we voice our concerns regarding this issue for the following reasons. 


1. No one, may it be a student or a teacher has a right to tarnish the image of the university. So we demand fast track action in law faculty sexual harassment case and whosoever is found guilty through a free and fair enquiry must be severely punished to send clear message that AMU cannot be taken hostage by the any sick elements. Action must be made public so that entire nation comes to know that AMU does not give a free hand to people with criminal attitude. We demand everyone to follow the due course of law and standards of Justice at AMU. 


2. Gender violence against anybody, student or faculty, guest or bonafide, cannot be accepted as a norm and ignored, and the victim cannot be left alone to fight for justice. Social pressures or like cannot be accepted as hindrances in justice delivery system. We demand an end to any sort of gender violence to maintain the sanctity of the institution. Administration must make fast track arrangement to check those people who are inclined to gender violence or have any such record in the past. 


3. The safety of our sisters is our primary concern and there cannot be any concession on that. So the official body of AMU working for the purpose (CASHFGS) cannot stay senescent and irresponsive. Its mere existence does not solve the purpose. We demand for an updated, empowered, functional body of CASHFGS (Committee against sexual harassment and for gender sensitization) with mass awakening programs and easy executive tendencies. It must be funded properly, made accountable and ensured a root level contact with female students at AMU. 


4. The cultural legacy of AMU, as visioned by the founder of alma mater, needs to be maintained at any cost. Those events, discourses and shows that are organised in the campus and do not reflect our civilization and the historical background of the university cannot be allowed to demolish the prestige the heartland of Muslims in India. This event cannot be taken in isolation because such miss happening are a result of continuous moral degradation; promotion of indecent ideas, nurturing of western culture and transgression of the limits set by Islam. We demand a policy shift to uphold modesty and demand an end to all that deprives us from our great values. We don’t think of this particular case in isolation but take these types of heinous events as a result of continuous moral degradation; promotion of indecent ideas, nurturing of western culture and transgression of the limits set by Islam. 


5. We demand media to be ethical in reporting and not to present AMU like other infamous institutions where sexual harassment is a routine. We convey media to present AMU as it is, and not to create an awkward image of AMU, as we believe that against some odds, AMU is yet the safest campus in the nation. We request media to support our cause till the justice is delivered. We also request media to cover our protest march from jama masjid to bab e syed to give voice to students at AMU. 


THANK YOU

DEMAND COMMUNAL VIOLENCE BILL

In more than 6 decades of independence, India and Indians have been unfortunate victims of communal violence and hate politics.

In the last one and a half years, U.P. alone has seen more than 100 incidents of communal violence. Pratapgarh, Faizabad, Bareily and many other cities have seen big and small incidents of communal violence.

Most recently, Muzaffarnagar has seen horrifying communal riots where more than 100,000 people have been displaced, while official data shows that 62 lives have been lost. The speed with which riots.spread and provocative gatherings were allowed to go unchecked points clearly to government inefficiency and complacency.

Moreover, the government response has been pathetic. Relief and rehabilitation by government agencies is absent on the ground. Whatever little relief is being given is by Community organisations or NGOs.

The Muzaffarnagar violence is a clear case of not only failure of local administration but also horrendous political exploitation of people's suffering.

Aligarh Muslim University rejects this politics of hate and communal violence.

We call on everyone to demand the passage of Communal Violence Bill in the coming winter session (December 2013) of parliament, and to reach out to the nation to shun the politics of hate and communal violence.
