JNUSU Left okays Arunachal âwith Chinaâ
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The resolution had been brought by Zinniah and Manoj, councillors of the National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress. The resolution was defeated by 11 votes, as most of the councillors from Left outfits, namely, Students Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students Federation (AISF) voted against the resolution.
The one line resolution reads: "The council condemns the Republic of China for continuing to show Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory." In all, the council discussed 33 items on its agenda. The resolution on Arunachal Pradesh was the eighth item on the list. "Instead of taking a strong note of China's inconsistent policy towards Arunachal Pradesh, SFI and AISF showed a softness as if Arunachal Pradesh is not a part of India," Madhumita Chakraborty, JNU unit NSUI president, said.
"SFI, AISF and AISA representatives voted against the motion, thereby verifying that they actually support the Chinese claim of Arunachal Pradesh being a part of Chinese territory. Their voting against the motion is a betrayal of the very Constitution of our country and has exposed the anti-national character of the Left," she added.
SFI is the student wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), a major constituent of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), AISF is affiliated to the Communist Party of India (CPI), another Left constituent of the UPA, while the All India Students Association (AISA) is the student outfit of CPI-Marxist and Leninist. AISA's Mona Das heads the JNUSU.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
