[Reader-list] Youth for Equality joins hands with ABVP

[Shivam Vij]

Aye Bee Vee Pee! The same guys who just murdered a professor in
Ujjain. The same guys who grow up at about 45 years of age to join the
BJP, after they've done enough of their akharay-baaji at RSS shakhas.
Who learn the chemistry of hate in the laboratory of the university.

Brilliant. Youth for Equality - whoever they are and whatever they
stand for, for it's always unclear - have shown their true colours.
Transperancy always helps.

Subject: YOUTH FOR EQUALITY EXTENDS ITS CONDITIONAL SUPPORT TO ABVP IN DUSU POLL


Dear Friends



Youth For Equality as you all know is not a political but social
organization working on the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi, Pt Nehru
,Rajiv Gandhi and Dr B.R.Ambedkar who wanted reservations only for a
short period of time and for a minority of seats .Our aim is to create
Equality for all citizens of India while preserving merit. Hence we
support affirmative Action and Reservation for Sc/Sts   and
economically weaker  sections of all caste. We  support the criteria
of hunger and deprivation where caste beyond SC /St is not a class in
itself.

We of course could not contest since the nominations were over and
politics is not our concern. Yet in view of the challenge thrown to us
we sent a questionnaire to all Political Parties contesting the DUSU
election. NSUI declined to state that they are contesting the election
on the main issue of reservation and asking for votes in name of
Reservation. They seem to be scared of its repercussions. None of the
other parties also responded to us. The only party, which responded to
our query, was ABVP. They said;

1)        We support caste-based reservations.
2)        We support a nation wide survey and a white paper on reservation
3)         We support affirmative action on basis of economic criteria.
4)         Exclusion of creamy layer

Of course our ideologies don't match. However:

ABVP did become a part of the debate we started. And they have
adequately supported our demand for a white paper, which will pave way
for non-political review committee to know the actual ground reality
and the truth.

ABVP has also supported the exclusion of creamy layer

ABVP has also supported affirmative action on basis of economic criteria.

Based on these points we have decided to give conditional support to
ABVP. We don't extend unconditional support to them neither agree with
their ideology. But we issue just point-based support to them on these
issues as among the choices we find their approach to be most
reasonable. We however reiterate that we are fighting for an "ideal"
and we are not concerned with the political result. WE might want ABVP
to win and nothing more. Best of luck to ABVP. Again we retieriate
that we don't agree on all issues and ideological points.
