Press note
Students of Panjab University are not in any mood to
tolerate the heinous act of the cops of Chandigarh police . Friday in late
evening about 250 students held a protest at students centre against the sexual violence inflicted of a minor girl. The students and the members of Civil society
raised slogan against the patriarchal attitude of the UT police. The protest
was organized by Students for Society (SFS) and the students marched from students
centre to PU market via girls hostel.
SFS President Arishdeep
said, "The real face of Chandigarh police has been exposed by this incident. It
is the same police that registered FIR on students protesting on the issue of
delhi gang rape last year." He also added that it is the same police that makes
hue and cry about the security and reduces the whole issue of gender equality
to mere security. However, security is not the issue at all but the patriarchal
setup so deep rooted in our society.
Daljit Ami, Prof Manjit singh, Adv. Rajeev
Godara, Dr. Inder singh, Prof. Janaki and others from the civil society were
also present and also addressed the protesting students.
