Joining the growing chorus of voices against the Citizenship Act, NRC and crackdown on protesting students in India, the Students’ Union of the University of Manchester on Monday issued a statement of solidarity with anti-CAA protesters and students Joining the growing chorus of voices against the Citizenship Act, proposed NRC and crackdown on protesting students in India, the Students Union of the University of Manchester on Monday issued a statement of solidarit y with anti-CAA protesters and students. The statement termed the CAA and NRC as a “pair of legal instruments that threaten to disenfranchise millions of undocumented Indians, especially Indian Muslims and other disadvantaged groups” and condemned the “undemocratic and unconstitutional measures” aimed at quelling dissent against these, especially in universities like Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Aligarh Muslim University. Lashing out against the “Islamophobic violence” which, it claims, has become a “harsh reality of the Modi regime”, the Students Union of the University of Manchester called upon the government to “unequivocally repeal the Citizenship Act and the NRC” and seeks assurance that no such legislation will be introduced in the future. It also demanded an independent inquiry into violence on university campuses, especially that perpetrated by “non-state actors” and urged the government to respect people’s right to protest and express their dissent, both online and offline.
