Eyeing on the upcoming students elections of Delhi University Student Union (DUSU), the National Student Union of India (NSUI) launched a campaign on Tuesday -’Awaz uthau Seeti Bajao’ demanding economic inequality, metro concessional passes for students, proper implementation of Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category reservation, end of hostel curfew, gender inequality in the campus and so on.

The student union polls will take place on September 12. Under the campaign, the NSUI leaders and its members will launch ‘blow the whistle’ campaign against inequality in Delhi University.

Ruchi Gupta, AICC joint secretary and National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) in-charge said there is pervasive inequality in DU - between campuses, between colleges, between students (caste, region, linguistic, rural versus urban etc), between morning and evening colleges as well as between certain streams (science and commerce).

“At the same time, attempts are being made to establish a dominant narrative and cultural hegemony through coercion, violence, falsehood and institutional capture or subversion, where other viewpoints are being denied equal space in the public discourse,” she said.

As whistle blowers of the congress backed students community, will highlight each and every instance of inequality at the campus level, at the college level and between students and demand that DU fulfill the implicit promise of ‘One University, Equal Opportunity’, she said.

“NSUI will blow the whistle against inequality between campuses, economic inequality and linguistic and regional inequality, for respect and security of women, social justice, LGBTQIA rights and rights of the differently-abled”, she added.
