अलीगढ़ में मॉब लिंचिंग करने वाले फ़ासीवादी हत्यारों को सज़ा दो!
गोरक्षा के नाम पर बने हत्यारे गिरोहों को प्रतिबन्धित करो!!![]()
उत्तर प्रदेश के अलीगढ़ से एक भयंकर ख़बर सामने आयी है। मीट का व्यापार करने वाले चार मुस्लिम युवकों पर गोमांस ले जाने का फ़र्ज़ी आरोप लगाते हुए बजरंग दल के गुण्डों ने मॉब लिंचिंग की कोशिश की। अपनी गाड़ी से बिक्री के लिए मीट लेकर आ रहे इन युवकों को रोककर पहले तो इन फ़ासीवादी गुण्डों ने 50,000 रुपये की उगाही करने की कोशिश की। पैसा देने से मना करने पर बजरंग दल और संघी गुण्डों ने गोमांस की अफ़वाह फैलाते हुए इन युवकों को पहले मार मार के अधमरा कर सड़क पर छोड़ दिया। ये युवक बार-बार रसीद और व्यापार का लाइसेंस दिखाते रहे लेकिन उसके बावजूद इनको पहले बुरी तरह पीटा गया, उसके बाद इनकी ट्रक में आग लगा दी गयी। इस पूरे दौरान पुलिस मूकदर्शक बनी रही। इस बर्बर घटना के बाद हिन्दुत्ववादी संगठन खुलेआम मीडिया में इस अपराध के पक्ष में बयान दे रहे हैं और प्रशासन मूकदर्शक बना हुआ है। ![]()
भाजपा और संघ परिवार द्वारा पूरे देश में फैलायी गयी नफ़रत की राजनीति ने जगह-जगह ऐसे अपराधी गिरोहों को जन्म दिया है जो गोरक्षा के नाम पर मॉब लिंचिंग करने से लेकर भयंकर अपराधों को अंजाम दे रहे हैं। गोरक्षा के नाम पर हरियाणा के चरखी-दादरी से लेकर उत्तर प्रदेश, झारखण्ड जैसे राज्यों में मॉब लिंचिंग करने, हत्याएँ करने और साम्प्रदायिक नफ़रत फैलाने वाले इन गुण्डा गिरोहों के ऊपर सत्ताधारी भाजपा और संघ परिवार का हाथ है। 2018 में मॉब लिंचिंग के अपराधियों को जब जमानत मिली तो भाजपा के केन्द्रीय मंत्री जयन्त सिन्हा ने फूल-मालाओं से उनका स्वागत किया। ज्ञात हो जो भाजपा और संघ आज गोरक्षा के नाम पर इंसानों की हत्याओं को अंजाम दे रहे हैं, उसी भाजपा पार्टी का नेता रह चुका संगीत सोम गोमांस का व्यापार करता था और देश के सबसे बड़े बूचड़खानों में से एक का मालिक था। बहुत दिन नहीं बीते जब केन्द्रीय जहाजरानी मंत्री शान्तनु ठाकुर ने बीएसएफ़ से अपने एक परिचित को तीन किलोग्राम बीफ़ सीमा पार ले जाने की अनुमति देने के लिए सिफ़ारिश की थी। गोवा और उत्तर-पूर्वी राज्यों में भाजपा के नेता चुनाव के दौरान बीफ़ पर प्रतिबन्ध न लगाने और बीफ़ की आपूर्ति में कमी न आने देने का वादा करते नज़र आते हैं। तमाम बीफ़ कम्पनियों से बड़े पैमाने पर चन्दा लेने वाली भाजपा सरकार के गाय प्रेम की असली सच्चाई यही है।![]()
वास्तव में गाय इनके लिए ऐसा राजनीतिक जानवर बन चुका है जिसके आधार पर यह साम्प्रदायिक ध्रुवीकरण को अंजाम देने का काम आराम से करते हैं। इन घटनाओं में यह बात साफ़ है कि बिना सत्ता के संरक्षण के इस तरह के संगठित और योजनाबद्ध आपराधिक गिरोहों का फलना-फूलना और ऐसे अपराधों को अंजाम देना असम्भव है। एक तरफ़ बिना किसी अपराध के अपने साम्प्रदायिक नैरेटिव को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए भाजपा सरकार लोगों के घरों और दुकानों पर बुल्डोजर चलाती रहती है। दूसरी ओर इस तरह के बर्बर हत्याओं को अंजाम देने वाले अपराधियों को घटना के चौबीस घण्टे बीत जाने के बाद भी गिरफ़्तार तक नहीं किया जाता है।
दिशा छात्र संगठन भाजपा और संघ परिवार की इस साम्प्रदायिकता की राजनीति के ख़िलाफ़ छात्रों-युवाओं से एकजुट होने का आह्वान करता है। हमारी माँग है कि इन अपराधियों की जल्द से जल्द गिरफ़्तारी की जाये और इनके ऊपर कठोर कार्रवाई की जाये। इसके साथ ही गोरक्षा के नाम पर बने बजरंग दल जैसे हत्यारे गिरोहों को प्रतिबन्धित किया जाये।![]()

CBSE Results and the ongoing saga of turning education into a business![]()
CBSE results for Class 10 and Class 12 were declared last week, and a large number of students are reporting large discrepancies in their marks. Based on their performance and expectations, many students feel that their results at the end were considerably lower. This must be understood in the context of CBSE outsourcing the checking of papers to a third-party. Students allege that these parties are neither registered with CBSE nor qualified subject teachers. Students who did well in pre-boards and coaching centre examinations are also reporting startlingly low scores. ![]()
It is no secret that public education in the country is declining over the years. Especially in the last decade, there has been increasing privatisation and outsourcing of different aspects of examinations that are held by the government. From the checking of CBSE papers to the printing of NEET, NET, etc., contracts are being handed over to private firms and vendors, seriously undermining the credibility and accountability of these procedures. We have seen how paper leaks have become rampant since printing has been handed over to private presses. Last year, student protests drew attention to this systemic corruption and forced the National Testing Agency to take stock of the situation. Only because of the widespread outrage and movement did the NTA and government even take the limited steps of reorganising NTA and launching an investigation. With the discrepancies in CBSE results, we are once again confronted with the harsh reality that ultimately this system is not working for students, and the government’s approach of cutting corners and trying to earn money through outsourcing such processes affects the well-being and futures of students. ![]()
The injustice does not even end there. There is a process for verification and re-evaluation of the papers to verify the scores, which is nothing but a series of payments! Firstly, students have to pay Rs. 500 for verification. Only after that, can they apply to receive a copy of the answer sheet, which costs another Rs.500. And only then, they can apply for re-evaluation, which costs Rs.100 per question! The efforts CBSE has put in devising this unending payment scheme would have been better exercised in ensuring a transparent and state-led evaluation process.
Students are put in a desperate situation because these marks determine the entire trajectory of their future studies and career. Especially the Class 12 students who are looking to apply to universities in a few weeks, cannot afford this gross discrepancy. This becomes yet another avenue through with CBSE will earn some extra money. It is outrageous that while the central government is spending less and less on education, and paving the way for privatisation with policies like the NEP 2020, it is also simultaneously leaving no opportunity to take more money out of the pockets of students. ![]()
All of this boils down to a simple fact: the access to education is deprived from the majority of common students. Every obstruction such as this, which sabotages the future prospects and demands money for a chance to resolve the problem, keeps more and more students outside the gates of further education. It deprives them of a better life and is a grave injustice. ![]()
Disha Students’ Organization stands with the CBSE Class 10 and 12 students. We demand that:
1. The papers are re-evaluated and transparency is ensured.
2. Irregularities must be investigated and action must be taken against those responsible.
3. The process of re-evaluation must be made free of cost.
4. Exam processes like evaluation must not be outsourced to third-parties.![]()
We call upon the students, youth and justice-loving citizens to demand accountability and transparency from CBSE and the government and continue the struggle for quality education for all!![]()

UAPA is a weapon of political oppression!
Drop cases against Rejaz Sydeek!!![]()
On May 7, Rejaz M. Sheeba Sydeek, a student-activist and independent journalist was arrested in Nagpur. Days later, police slapped him with UAPA charges. This is a clear attempt to terrorize anyone who dares to talk against the actions of the state machinery.![]()
Rejaz had spoken against the destruction of Kashmiri homes and ‘Operation Kaagar’ in Bastar. Raising voice for democratic rights, or casting questions on the actions of the state itself has been made a crime now. This is how the state machinery today works, a merciless machine that kills democratic spaces and tries to turn it into deserts of fear, one that silences all voices of dissent that dare to rise out of this swamp of lies and injustice.![]()
Under UAPA, one is presumed guilty from the moment one is named. Bail is a cruel joke. Trials drag on for years. The burden of proof is pushed onto the accused. Hundreds have been shoved into prisons and left to languish without any possibility of trial. Look at the numbers. Between 2016 and 2020, over 5,000 cases were filed under UAPA, affecting more than 24,000 lives. But only 212 convictions. That shows the law is essentially used for the persecution of political opponents. Over 97 percent of those accused remain behind bars without being proven guilty. Their only trial is that of endurance. Their only punishment is the long, slow destruction of their lives. Section 43D(5) of the UAPA is perhaps the cruelest of all. Under this clause, the courts are bound to take the state’s word at face value. No need for evidence, no room for doubt. The result is that bail becomes nearly impossible. Innocent until proven guilty, a cornerstone of justice, is flipped on its head. Under UAPA, you are guilty the moment you are accused. Meanwhile, in India, the warmongering bloodthirsty maniacs and the peddlers of hate walk free untouched and unashamed, everywhere.![]()
UAPA has been used again and again, not against those with guns or bombs, but against students, journalists, tribal leaders, poets and such people whose only weapon is a voice. To speak, to assemble, to question are our democratic rights, but those very rights are trampled upon everyday by laws like UAPA. ![]()
Disha Students' Organization (DISHA) stands for the democratic right of everyone, including Rejaz, to raise questions on actions of the state and criticise it. ![]()
We demand:
• Release of Rejaz M. Sheeba Sydeek and revocation of UAPA charges against him
• Repeal the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, UAPA
• Dropping of all false cases against Rejaz, all other students, journalists, human-rights defenders, and those who raise their voice against the oppressive acts of the government![]()

Stand in Solidarity with Prof. Ali Khan!
Resist the fascist attacks on dissent!
In yet another instance of state crackdown on dissent around the country, Prof. Ali Khan Mahmudabad was arrestted by the Haryana Police from his home in Delhi over a social media post against warmongering and the fascist politics of BJP. His only "offence" was to call out the BJP's hate campaign against the muslims and demand that the same love and respect shown to figures like Sofia Quereshi be extended to ordinary Muslim as well. The Harayana State Commission for Women booked him stating that he "disparaged women officers in the Indian Army" and "promoted communal disharmony." But is asking for basic human dignity an act of communal provocation or is the act of dividing the country on the lines of Hindu and Muslims? The real communal disharmony was the systematic upsurge in communal tensions around the country after the Pahalgam attack. This was not just civilian outrage after the incident, but rather a systematic attack by the BJP-RSS and its many fronts. Muslim and Kashmiri students were being harassed and dragged from institutions, around 3,000 people were arrested in Kashmir, teachers and professors were suspended, among many more instances. All these point towards systematic attack on Muslims and in reality "promoting communal disharmony."
This is the classic ploy of the BJP-RSS to twist facts, criminalize dissent, and use the state machinery to silence opposition. The whole sage of 'war' under the guise of 'national security' has allowed them to arrest and detain people who are raising questions and refusing to be silent. Be it Kerala student Rejaz being booked under the draconian laws like UAPA, or professors, activists, and journalists, around the country whose voices are being supressed. Rejaz, an independent journalist and student activist, was booked for merely criticizing 'Operation Sindoor' and Indian state's warmongering. The space for democratic voices continues to shrink as the Fascist RSS-BJP has weaponized institutions to become its echo-chambers and suppress the voice of anyone who raises question at them. This arrest falls in line with many such instances after the said 'Operation Sindoor' started. We must resist such blatant attack on our rights and stand in solidarity with justice-loving people like Prof Mahmudabad and Rejaz!
