[Reader-list] Where did Democracy go?

[Aaditya Dar]

Kiran: An application to the SHO of the area is required to be submitted,
who thereafter approves it. The application can be rejected, if as the
shivam says, the act/demonstration may turn violent.

Shivam: You missed the broader point of the press release, which was that
the student body activists were allowed to have a free run in the campus.
Hired Hands were allowed in Campus, which is in contradiction to what the
code of conduct states. The same hired hands also indulged in incidents of
eve-teasing.

Also, the bill was approved by the cabinet in the late evening. Since,
permission could not be taken in such a short span of time, permission from
the SHO was not taken. However, the Security Officer, Delhi University was
informed, he was in touch with us, even visited us, and found no problems.
Moreover, an application was sent to the SHO- the first thing in the
morning.

and just to clear the air, i'm against caste based reservations extended to
OBCs- by increasing the seats, the problem (which for the me is the
reservation policy) still exists. Plus, its operationally unfeasible.

aaditya
