New Delhi, April 27, 2016 | UPDATED 18:02 IST
A dossier prepared by a group of teachers of the JNU is likely to add more fuel to the fiery controversy surrounding the prestigious academic institution. The 200-page report, which has been put together by a group of 11 JNU teachers, describes the university as a "den of organised sex racket."
The 200-page document, which was prepared by a group of 11 JNU teachers in 2015, was released recently to a few journalists.
The document, which was prepared in 2015 and released only recently to a few journalists, has been submitted to the JNU administration, The Wire reports. The report has been prepared by a group of 11 teachers, who are believed to be close to the Bharatiya Janata Party and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the students' wing of the RSS.
Amita Singh, professor at the Centre for Law and Governance, who heads the group of teachers, claimed that sex workers inside JNU hostel messes are a common thing.
"Over one thousand boys and girls students have been fined from Rs 2000 to Rs 5000 for consuming alcohol, for indulging in immoral activities in their hostels. At a casual glance at the gates of the hostel one can see hundreds of empty alcohol bottles. Sex workers have been openly employed in hostel messes, where they not only lure JNU girls into their organized racket but also pollute the boys," Amita Singh was quoted as saying.
"How come big and high brand cars are moving around the hostels particularly in the night hours. Some security staff is also involved in this racket. Money, sex, drugs and alcohol are tools through which freshers are being lured into this ring," she added.
The document titled 'Jawaharlal Nehru University: The Den of Secessionism and Terrorism' also accuses a few university teachers of encouraging a "decadent culture in JNU and legitimising separatist movements in India."
"It is a matter of serious concern that some JNU academics masquerading as liberals and feminists have been engaged in nefarious and anti-national activities of maligning India publically through their statements, lectures, publications and extra-academic activities of their NGOs which receive liberal funding from foreign hostile agencies," the document states.
Assistant professor in the Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies, Hari Ram Mishra, who was part of the group which prepared the dossier, told The Wire that they want to safeguard JNU from more trouble.
"The reason we compiled and submitted the dossier to the university administration was to prevent future disturbances in the university. JNU has become a place where communists terrorise others in the name of freedom of speech. Our point is that students should be apolitical. If you want to enter politics, there is a huge field outside. But JNU Students' Union should be limited to campus work only. But unfortunately, here communists are preferred over meritorious students," Mishra said.
The report assumes significance as a high-level committee formed to probe the recent incidents on campus found many students guilty of raising anti-national slogans.
Earier this week, based on the recommendations of the high-level committee, the JNU administration rusticated research scholars Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, and also fined student leader Kanhaiya Kumar Rs 10,000 for their involvement in a controversial event held in campus in the memory of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.
ABVP leader Saurabh Sharma, who had complained against Kanhaiya and his comrades for their allegedly "anti-national" activities, has also been fined Rs 10,000 for the row.

New Delhi: In what can trigger a new controversy, a group of 11 Jawaharlal Nehru Universityteachers have alleged that the varsity has become 'a den of organised sex racket'.
As per a report in The Wire, the teachers, who are supposedly inclined to the BJP and RSS ideology, have prepared a 200-page document compiled last year and submitted to the university administration, stating the university has become 'a den of organised sex racket'.
“Over one thousand boys and girls (sic) students have been fined from Rs 2000/- to Rs 5000/- for consuming alcohol, for indulging in immoral activities in their hostels. On a casual glance at the gates of the hostel one can see hundreds of empty alcohol bottles. Sex workers have been openly employed in hostel messes, where they not only lure JNU girls into their organized racket but also pollute the boys. How come big and high brand cars are moving around the hostels particularly in the night hours. Some security staff is (sic) also involved in this racket. Freshers are particularly inducted in this ring of vice by luring through money, sex, drugs and alcohol, so that they become tied up with the cause of foreign agencies,” the report quoted the text of the dossier.
The dossier, titled 'Jawaharlal Nehru University: The Den of Secessionism and Terrorism' further accuses some teachers of encouraging such practices.
The group of the teachers who have made this claim is led by Amita Singh, professor at the Centre for Law and Governance. “I plan to tell the JNU teachers’ association to propose a complete ban on alcohol and motorcycles on campus. We need to strictly adhere to the JNU manual. In the manual, girls are not permitted to enter boys’ hostels. But no one follows it here. In a hostel raid, occasionally conducted by wardens, at least 40-50 boys are always fined for sheltering outsiders. In the same raids, so many girls are found to be present in the hostel rooms meant only for boys. Who knows where these girls are from? That is why I proposed to the present vice-chancellor to install CCTV cameras in hostels. I told him that unless you sanitise the hostels, the university cannot be run properly,” Hari Ram Mishra, assistant professor in the Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies and a part of this group was quoted as saying by The Wire.
Meanwhile, the students and other teaches have rebuffed the allegations, calling them completely baseless and a part of the Hindutva propaganda against JNU’s liberal culture.

dear sir,
ReplyDeletekankaiha should be arrested for misinformation campaign set by him to tarnish the image of honorable army, I do agree some bad apples are in army, when the matter is brought forth, severe punishment was awarded to the wrong doer. our three chiefs are impotent irresponsible callousness attitude If I were to be army chief I would have court martialed the JNU leader
Before getting swayed by it, try and find out for yourself the true meaning of Nationalism , Secularism and Equality.
ReplyDeleteThis preposterous assumption that only a person in defence/ army knows the true definition of above and makes true sacrifices for the country needs a serious self realisation and rediscovery.
Falling prey to this kind of devious design and pitfall of politics had been our Achilles heel and thus have been cheated from being Cattle Class to Sacrificial lambs.
Solution is read more people like Swami Vivekananda to Gandhi to Tagore and our constitution.
Reading yes. Rest no
