Reject Lyngdoh! Oppose the Stay on JNUSU Elections!

JNUSU EC has resigned. The old JNUSU Council takes over the charge of the Union! The UGBM scheduled on 25 October (sat.) will be conducted by the JNUSU and Chaired by the JNUSU President.

In an all organization meeting convened at 8pm today evening on 25th October 2008, the JNUSU all the Election Committee members have submitted their resignation citing their inability to continue with this year’s JNUSU election process in the wake of the Supreme Court’s stay order today. The JNUSU Council now takes over the charge as per the JNU Constitution after the EC has resigned. It is for the UGBM to decide till how long this JNUSU will continue in office, apart from deliberating and deciding on the further course of action. In this hour of grave danger and crisis to our much cherished democratic tradition and institution, we repose our faith in JNUSU to spearhead the struggle against the imposition of Lyngdoh and in defense of our democratic space. We at the same time believe that a Struggle Committee be formed with representatives from all organizations to work in co-ordination with the JNUSU leadership in mobilizing the campus community for this struggle. It is only the path of an uncompromising and principled struggle challenging the Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations as well as the Supreme Court stay order both inside and outside the court that we will collectively be able to overcome this crisis.

In a time of this unprecedented attack on the JNUSU and its Constitution in the wake of the stay order of the Supreme Court, we demand that the JNUSU:
Immediately Convene a Emergency JNUSU Council meeting!
Establish a Struggle Committee comprising of representatives of all organizations to lead the struggle against Lyngdoh and to uphold the JNUSU Constitution!
