EFFIGY OF CASTE SYSTEM BURNT BY SFS TO PROTEST AGAINST BAN ON AMBEDKAR-PERIYAR STUDY CIRCLE IN IIT MADRAS

Around 100 students today gathered at the Student Centre of PU to protest against the ban imposed on Ambedkar-Periyar Study Circle by IIT-Madras administration on the diktat of MHRD by burning the effigy of the Caste system. IIT-M authorities cited the reason regarding derecognising APSC that they are “promoting Caste hatred” and are spreading hatred against the Modi government. Ridiculing these points Students For Society(SFS) President, Arishdeep said, “It is the complete violation of fundamental right of freedom of expression and said that criticising the policies of govt. is not spreading hatred and putting forward the ideas of Baba Saheb Ambedkar on Caste is also not spreading hatred.”
While addressing, Arishdeep said, “Ambedkar Periyar Study Circle has criticised the Modi regime for "pro-corporate" policies such as the Land Acquisition Bill and insurance and labour reforms and were regularly conducting activities on the core problems of the society which was called by the authority as misusing the privileges given the IIT and for that they derecognized APSC. SFS stand in complete solidarity with APSC and demand that the ban be immediately revoked.”
