AISA Statement | Casteist oppressors are crying victim because the oppressed are demanding dignity — the curious case of Ruchi Tiwari and violence in Delhi University! Stop the casteist lies! Enact strengthened UGC Regulations against casteism!

All over the media and right wing ecosystems, yesterday's protest for instation of the UGC Social Equity Regulations is being highlighted as an attack on upper caste people. A woman named Ruchi Tiwari, who has developed a notorious reputation of creating chaos and inciting violence in this social movement has taken a victim stage, while AISA activists Anjali and Neha are being targetted, getting rape and death threats constantly. It is nothing but a classic case of crying victim when the movement for dignity is taking center stage in India society. We have seen this same gameplan during the Mandal agitations as well where casteist forces tried to play victim while spewing all forms of filth at people demanding dignity.

AISA appeals to all those concerned with peace, justice and democracy to look at hard facts and place the narrative where it must be placed: why does the demand for equality trigger Sanghi forces so much?

TIMELINE OF FACTS:

1. On 12th February, ABVP goons attacked Historian S Irfan Habib while speaking on how RSS history refuses to acknowledge caste system at Arts Faculty in Samta Utsav organised by AISA. Stones were hurled and dustbin filled with water was thrown in the public meeting. Despite this, the organisers and the speaker remained calm and continued the programme. The perpetrators from ABVP have been identified and their videos have been publicly released by AISA on its handles and it was seen and condemned widely.

2. The stay on UGC Regulations has invoked widespead anger among the students and teachers from SC/ST/OBC communities. On 13th February, as part of the All India Vanchit Adhikar Divas, where over 100 campuses raised the demand for UGC Regulations, students of various organisations and movements held a public meeting at Arts Faculty. The meet was completely peaceful and organised.

3. During the public meeting, several miscreants tried to provoke, create chaos and incite violence. The protesters made sure that all of them were handed over to the police.

4. Ruchi Tiwari, who claims to be a journalist, but has constantly incited violence in protests for UGC Regulations came to the scene. She was accompanied by several men who hurled abuses at protesters. She immediately identified and started harassing Dalit journalist, Naveen. As Naveen has stated, AISA activists Anjali and Neha rushed to Naveen's defence to hand over Ruchi Tiwari to Delhi Police.

5. Two Videos have surfaced. In one, you can clearly see Ruchi Tiwari attacking Naveen and then hurling a punch at Anjali, who fell down. In another you can see Anjali and Neha holding Ruchi Tiwari trying to hand over her to the police. There is a reason why the second video is being circulated on mute by the castesit ecosystem. Because with audio, you can hear people saying, "maar ke bhaagi hai ye, isko police ke paas lekar jaana hai".

6. Even after many disruptions by Ruchi Tiwari and her likes, the public meeting concluded peacefully by 5PM.

7. By 6:30PM, Anjali along AISA activists went to Maurice Nagar Police station to file a complaint against Ruchi Tiwari and her companions. At the police station, a mob was already gathered who identified Anjali from the protest and rushed after her inside the police station. AISA activists were rushed into a small room by the Delhi Police while the mob of around 50 people hurled abuses, rape threats and murder threats to the activists. For around 4 hours, four AISA activists were taken hostage inside the police station by the hate mob.

8. Common students of Delhi and friends of the AISA activists who had been threatened inside the police station gathered outside Maurice Nagar Police Station. The police completely failed in controlling the mob of more than 200 casteist goons as can been seen in several videos that have been shared withbthe media. One can clearly see the mob raising slogans of 'goli maaro saalon ko', and 'brahmanvaad zindabaad' in a complete police presence. For hours, the mob continued its threats and intimidation at activists outside Maurice Nagar Police Station.

9. At around 12 midnight, the police was able to clear the mob and complaints by AISA activists were filed against Ruchi Tiwari and her mob. The Activist were relaaed and Anjali was taken for officiating the medico-legal certificate.

Since then, all across the right wing social media and mainstream media, we have seen violent calls against women activists and castesit abuses against the movement for dignity.

Calls for equality will not be compromised in face of castesit anti women shouting! AISA appeals to all justice loving people to call out hate and demand equality and dignity of marginalised groups in Universities!

Indian justice system must hang its head in shame that Umar has now been in jail for more than 5 years without bail and without a case against him. Absolute travesty of justice!!!

While DU is busy celebrating a Prime Minister who has left no chance to attack our public education we as students must ask Why is college fee rising every year?Why do we have to pay a more compared to last year examination registration ?Why FYUP when we don't want it?#gobackmodi

[Anjali @anjali__27]

Comrade @abhigyan_AISA and I, we are being held at our flat because PM is coming to campus!

Why is @narendramodi so afraid of us?

Whole campus turned into police cantonment to protect a PM from accountability!

Shame on Delhi police!

[Anjali @anjali__27]

All to protect the PM of the world's largest Democracy from accountability!

Mandatory/Forced participation
Extra attendance
No black clothes

@narendramodi is NOT welcome in our campus!

The insistence on granting #marriage equality and the need to re-look at the stale gender boundaries is how we would want to proceed as a #nation that is progressing at its soul.

. @LabourMinistry how long will you play deaf to the condition of delivery workers. Can the pay structure of the workers reduced randomly. Such freedom for companies at the cost of blood and sweat of the workers?
#StandWithBlinkitWorkers

[Tanvi @that_red_label]

@LabourMinistry Are you even concerned about the delivery app workers? Or are you too busy laying the groundwork for the labour codes?

#StandWithBlinkitWorkers

[Tanvi @that_red_label]

When Swiggy-Zomato, etc show fascinating dreams of delivering in 10 min, who bears the brunt of the unrealistic goals? The riders!

#StandWithBlinkitWorkers

[Anjali @anjali__27]

Riders: Where is my PF?
BlinkIt: Well, you're a partner, what are you even demanding?
Riders: Where is my profit share if I'm a partner?
BlinkIt: *Blocks ID!*
