Kolkata, April 5: The Nandigram issue has apparently decimated the Student’s Federation of India — the students’ wing of the CPI(M) — in the Jadavpur University this year.
Following its loss in the Arts Faculty and Science Faculty elections, the SFI suffered its most humiliating debacle at the engineering faculty elections that was held today. While at the Science Faculty, We The Independent (WTI) bagged all the 4 seats, at the Engineering Faculty, the Democratic Students Forum bagged all the 5 seats.
All three elections were held in the last 10 days. And today’s results finally triggered trouble, with the SFI members allegedly unleashing terror on the campus.
Just when 200-odd representatives of We The Independent (WTI) — the students’ organisation which won the Science Faculty student’s union elections — set out to celebrate their 500-margin victory over the SFI, pandemonium broke: they were allegedly roughed up by their SFI counterparts. The WTI said the SFI had gathered CPI(M) hooligans and hoodlums from outside to beat them up.
Allegations and counter allegations flew thick and fast.
Students from the science faculty heaped accusations on SFI members. “They are absolutely frustrated because we have won all four seats in the 950-student faculty. We won by a margin of 500. Seven of our boys had to be taken to EDF Hospital for treatment of the injuries,” said a WTI member.
The most embarrassing claim made by the students was that some teachers also joined the SFI in bashing up the WTI boys. “Even teachers beat up the students in the Science Club room. We were also beaten up in the non-teaching staff office room. We are submitting a deputation to the Vice-Chancellor demanding the suspension of these teachers,” said Shesadri Mitra, one of the WTI students who also filed an FIR at the Jadavpur police station. The faculty tried to cool down the tense atmosphere.
Prof Swadesh Ranjan Roychowdhury, HoD, Chemistry, said: “We have instructed the students to write down their complaints and demands and submit it to the vice-chairman. There is no use increasing tension by flaring tempers.”
“It is obvious that a certain political party is trying to get back their stronghold after losing in every faculty and hence creating the ruckus... this is a desperate attempt to get back to power,” said another professor on condition of anonymity.
Sougata Roy, the general secretary of the JU Non-teaching staff union, which owes allegiance to CPI(M), however, said: “The WTI members were shouting anti-SFI slogans and suddenly got inside the Science Club and started beating up the SFI students. They also got inside our office and vandalised it. Now they are misrepresenting facts to cover up their follies.” None of the SFI members were available for comment.

Congratulations to Professor Debesh Das
We, the students of BCSEJU - 2005, congratulate our beloved Professor Debesh Das on becoming the IT minister of the State of West Bengal. We are sure his able leadership will do a world of good to the IT sector of the state. Our best wishes and heartiest congratulations to him.
S H A M E
On 10th/11th June 2005, in Jadavpur University, a place which once used to be the grooming place for leaders in education, research, engineering, business, science and humanities, mayhem was planfully invited by some people who are supposed to be respectable and accountable. These are the scenes of Police Violence that occured on the campus that the brainchild of likes of Rabindranath Tagore and Rishi Aurobindo! This is the dirt to which some people have brought down JU's pride - fasting students and even girls being beaten up mercilessly commanded by Lucifers of modern times. We, the people of BCSEJU05 and JU, condemn this hellish episode with all our heart and appeal to all authorities and conscious citizens to take appropriate steps.
FOR THE LOVE OF OUR VERY OWN JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY, WE OBJECT TO THIS BARBARIC ACT AND APPEAL EVERYONE TO RAISE THEIR VOICE.

The threat starts
They performed well in HS and WBJEE to come to JU to study. The reward from people decorating some coveted chairs? LATHICHARGE. See for yourself.
"Authorised" to hurt students!
We can run, but we cannot hide. The police will not tolerate free thinking boys, so they chase and hit and massacre JU students.
You thought they were after someone like Charlie Manson? WRONG AGAIN. They are chasing students, who were peacefully fasting to register some valid points.
No, its not the Abu Ghraib prison. Its a state where such violence is officially condemned! Well, those "offices" are unofficially closed tonight, because vested interests have been challenged by these individuals.
This state is an "oasis". Women are "safe" here. Well, not if an educated girl wanted to make her thoughts heard - then her reward is like this. Feel sick at this sight? Wait, they are just starting their show!
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. Don't they have children of their own? This is what these people do to a girl? Is this the information age? Or are we living in a jungle, predators masked as protectors?
Whoever gave the orders, this is the behaviour of ACCOUNTABLE OFFICE BEARERS? Then, he better grab a copy of a dictionary and check the meaning of that word once again!
Now even media cannot record. Its safe for them - inside the van - and yet, it will be called an ARREST. Sick people are running the show......HELL ain't much different.
None knows what happened next, and since noboy is accountable, nobody ever will. JUSTICE? INTEGRITY? HONESTY? DECENCY? "You have called the JU authority, so you see, its a wrong number!"
