जवाहरलाल नेहरू यूनिवर्सिटी में हंगामा, हिंसा और अराजकता का दौर पिछले करीब तीन महीने से चल रहा है। यहां वामपंथी छात्र नेताओं के बहकावे में छात्रों का एक गुट लगातार यूनिवर्सिटी प्रशासन के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन कर रहा है। गुरुवार को जवाहरलाल नेहरू यूनिवर्सिटी टीचर्स फेडरेशन (JNUTF) ने प्रेस स्टेटमेंट जारी कर अक्टूबर से चल रहे इस हंगामे की क्रोनोलॉजी बताई।
JNUTF मुताबिक छात्रों का यह हंगामा पिछले वर्ष 28 अक्टूबर को शुरू हुआ था। जेएनयू में Inter Hall Administration (IHA) की मीटिंग चल रही थी, तभी छात्र नेताओं के साथ बड़ी संख्या में बेकाबू छात्र वहां पहुंच गए और नारेबाजी करने लगे। इसी दौरान दोपहर को डीन की तबीयत बिगड़ गई और विश्वविद्यलाय के हेल्थ सेंटर के डॉक्टरों ने उन्हें तत्काल Indian Institute of Spinal Injury में दाखिल कराने को कहा। लेकिन हंगामा कर रहे छात्रों ने उनकी एंबुलेंस को घेर लिया और शाम तक उन्हें निकलने नहीं दिया। इसके बाद पुलिस को बुलाया गया, तब डीन को अस्पताल ले जाया जा सका। इसके बाद 29 अक्टूबर को विश्वविद्यालय की तरफ से छात्रों के खिलाफ शिकायत दर्ज कराई गई। लेकिन इससे छात्र भड़क गए और उहोंने लगभग सभी शैक्षणिक कॉम्पलेक्स के प्रवेश द्वारों को जबरन बंद कर दिया।
JNUTF के मुताबिक इसके बाद छात्र बेकाबू होते गए और उन्होंने हॉस्टलों के वार्डन और उनके परिजनों को घेरना शुरू कर दिया। वार्डन्स और प्रोफेसरों के घेराव का ये सिलसिला लगातार ऐसे ही चलता रहा। 11 नवंबर को उग्र छात्रों ने जेएनयू के कन्वोकेशन सेरेमनी स्थल के बाहर जबरदस्त प्रदर्शन किया और एचआरडी मिनिस्टर समेत तमाम लोगों को घंटों वहां घेरे रखा। तब पहली बार ये मामला मीडिया की सुर्खियों में आया। इसके बाद 13 नवंबर को प्रदर्शनकारी छात्रों ने प्रशासनिक भवन, वीसी ऑफिस में तोड़फोड़ की और स्वामी विवेकानंद की मूर्ति को तोड़ दिया। छात्रों के प्रदर्शन का ये सिलसिला ऐसे ही जारी रहा।
तीन और चार जनवरी को प्रदर्शनकारी छात्रों ने विश्वविद्यालय के सर्वर रूम को निशाना बनाया और उसमें तोड़फोड़ कर, उसे बंद कर दिया। इससे छात्रों के रजिस्ट्रेशन की प्रक्रिया ठप हो गई। इस दौरान छात्रों के दो गुटों में हल्की-फुल्की भिड़ंत भी हुई। वहीं 5 जनवरी को नकाबपोश लोगों ने उन छात्रों को निशाना बनाया जिन्होंने पंजीकरण का बहिष्कार करने वाले छात्रों को रोका था।

Masked miscreants barged into Sabarmati Hostel and mercilessly assaulted a number of inmates. Two of the Sabarmati hostel wardens were beaten and chased by the masked assaulters
A number of students and teachers were injured.
Since 29th October 2019, there have been sporadic attacks on teachers and their families and university officials at their workplace on a regular basis. The repeated appeal by the university officials to the local police and individual complaints in the police station by the teachers have not been taken seriously and the police has not intervened and acted timely to prevent recurrence of such violent incidents on the campus. All this has created an environment of fear in the campus.
JNUTF appeals to every stakeholder to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies. The perpetrators of violence must be booked. JNUTF also appeals the JNU community to leave the past behind and restore the academic environment of JNU for which the University is widely acknowledged. Any short of differences should be resolved through debate and discussion. Let us understand the right to protest does not include right to prevent.
