On April 23, a Delhi court ruled that Fatima Nafis is not only entitled to file a protest petition against the closure report in the investigation into her son Najeeb’s disappearance, but also to copies of the report, all related documents as well as statements of witnesses.

The court has directed the CBI to submit all this to the complainant in two weeks. Additionally the investigating officer has been directed to be present at the next hearing.

CJP stands in solidarity with Indian mothers demanding justice for their children. We salute the courage of Fatima Nafees, Radhika Vemula, Rupa Behn Modi and Asiya Begum.

The order passed by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate says, “The law is settled that in case of closure/cancellation report, complainant is to be given opportunity to file protest petition, if so desired by the complainant.”

The order also states, “Further, there cannot be a half-hearted approach. In fact an effective opportunity be given to the complainant to file protest petition. As such, whole of the cancellation report along with the statement of witnesses and documents which are part and parcel of the present cancellation report, have to be supplied to the complainant side.”

The court has allowed the CBI to provide soft copies of the documents on a pen drive or CD. The entire order may be read here.

In passing the order the court relied on the Supreme Court’s observations in the Jakia Nasim Ahesan vs State of Gujarat. In that order the SC said, “that if for any stated reason the SIT opines in its report, to be submitted in terms of this order, that there is no sufficient evidence or reasonable grounds for proceeding against any person named in the complaint, dated 8th June 2006, before taking a final decision on such ‘closure’ report, the Court shall issue notice to the complainant and make available to her copies of the statements of the witnesses, other related documents and the investigation report strictly in accordance with law as enunciated by this Court in Bhagwant Singh Vs. Commissioner of Police & Anr.2. For the sake of ready reference, we may note that in the said decision, it has been held that in a case where the Magistrate to whom a report is forwarded under Section 173(2)(i) of the Code, decides not to take cognizance of the offence and to drop the proceedings or takes a view that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding against some of the persons mentioned in the FIR, the Magistrate must give notice to the informant and provide him an opportunity to be heard at the time of consideration of the report.”
 

Brief background of the case

Najeeb was a pursuing a Master’s Degree in Biotechnology from New Delhi’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University. He was a sharp young man with what his mother hoped was a bright future. But one evening he ended up in a brawl with members of a student union affiliated with a prominent political party with an extreme right wing ideology. The very next day he went missing.

Najeeb’s friends suspected foul play and Fatima started demanding an explanation about what happened to her son. But nobody seemed to have any answers. The police couldn’t explain what happened. It was almost as if he vanished into thin air!

The case was then handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

SabrangIndia’s Teesta Setalvad noted,

The documents that the court ordered to be presented include call data records (CDR), witness statements and other documents mentioned in the closure report. Earlier, after closing the case, the CBI had denied presenting these documents to Fatima Nafees, the petitioner in this case.

On March 28, CBI had argued that “there is no provision in law” to present the documents.

The Delhi High Court had allowed the CBI to file a closure report in his case and had “declined” Fatima Nafees’s plea to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to monitor the probe. The CBI took over his case in May 16, 2017 and after more than an year of investigation said that it had looked into all the aspects of the case and was of the opinion that no offence was committed against the missing student.

Najeeb’s brother Haseeb Ahmed said that this was the first hopeful news they heard since Najeeb went missing. He added, “Now we are hopeful that my brother will be back soon and the ones behind his disappearance will be behind bars.”

Najeeb Ahmed, a first year MSc Biotechnology student in the JNU went missing on October 15, 2016 after the alleged attacks on him by members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the ruling party. This had sparked students’ movements across the country. His mother Fatima Nafees has been tirelessly following up his case. On multiple occasions she has faced extreme police brutality despite peacefully demanding for her son to be found.

His case was initially investigated by the Vasant Kunj Police, and was subsequently passed on to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Delhi Police, the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police and then the CBI. But all these institutions failed to find his traces.

When Muslim groups stated the obvious, there were claims that it was an attempt at ‘communalising’, the disappearance, Najeeb was just a ‘student’ of JNU! I didn’t feel it was right, but I didn’t know enough then to articulate why using ‘communal’ in such a reckless manner was wrong. Is it ‘communal’ to identify religion as a sociological category of existence that intensifies discrimination? In that sense, is SIO or any ‘Muslim’ organisation in India, ‘communal’ if it understands this ‘social category’, and organises Muslims based on this identity to speak for justice? ‘Up, Up Secularism; Down, Down Communalism!’ is a slogan many of us use to start any protest in JNU, often having no idea of its history and the insidious manner this binary is being used to shut minority voices of dissent rather than question power. I think it’s time we stop using this term ‘communalism’, as every time we do that it results in blowbacks, and recognise that to be a Muslim is to have your very citizenship questioned by your mere existence like Najeeb, and to organise based on this identity then isn’t ‘communal’, as even leftists misunderstand.

Ideally, in a Communist Utopia, people would have risen above their immediate, ‘community’ identities to embrace merely the materiality of a fragile existence, where identities wouldn’t crystallise into anything ‘essential’. However, liberal democracies are far from Communist Utopias, and the state, or rather those in power, use identities to profile and define as a threat, often the most marginalised groups of people and call them ‘communal’. Liberal Democracies survive on the constant creation of an enemy, appropriate pain from collective mainstream consciousness- market it, create the dangerous, irrational ‘other’ and survive through the sustained ‘othering’, to the point of dehumanisation. ‘Communal’, ‘terrorist’, ‘fanatic’ is dog whistles that hit a deep paranoiac space in  the Malayali- dominantly liberal left psyche, that once labelled, it becomes impossible to talk to the person on the opposite side as language has enabled a dehumanisation which makes it ‘okay’, to inflict pain and  violence on this perceived enemy. Now, why is that? I think it’s because we are deeply afraid of ‘Human Aggression’; it’s a fear possibly deeper than the fear of death itself. We’d rather die than be betrayed, humiliated or let anyone we love to be attacked. Now, this has a problem when there is an attempt to create a collective psyche because it always needs the fear of the enemy to survive.

Liberal politics, even if its left lenient, is very good at tapping into this deceptive phobia and a lot of insanity can be covered up under the constant rhetoric of potential attack and intermittent shocks created through media spectacle and state rhetoric. Narratives can now easily be made, random statistical facts connected and ‘exceptional’ situations created to profile and survey these ‘communal’, ‘fanatic’ and ‘terrorist’ forces when real issues like political representation and voice remain. So now the possibility of ‘Muslim Aggression’, in its perceived ‘communalism’ is used against a minority to silence it’s very material and psychosocial qualms.

The American Empire was the first to master this in recent history, through the whole discourse of ‘Islamic terrorism’ or ‘Radical Islam’- which was started for an imperial mission outside, but  however has ended up as blowback with  increasing surveillance and profiling of its own citizens, mostly its racialised black and brown minorities. White nationalists talk about the end of a glorious white race(as if there is anything essentially white!) that is threatened by the ‘Radical Islamists’, ‘Black Gangsters’ and ‘Mexican Rapists’. Even if many regular Americans think of white nationalism as ridiculous, constant exposure to this rhetoric creates a real fear which enables ‘exceptional’ use of power, through ‘war on terror’, ‘war on drugs’ and most recently a ‘war on immigrants’ and over a period of time even allows for a ‘scientific’, ‘statistical’ and  ‘academic’ study of these ‘threats’.

The Indian state had benefitted much from the paranoia that burst out post 9/11 in America, thanks to a burgeoning global industry of academic-military and media complex that attempted to understand these “threats” through incessant debates which have only legitimised the phobia rather than question its irrationality. It shouldn’t have been a surprise for us when a course on ‘Islamic Terrorism’ was introduced on campus. The stupidity of it was funny but sadly, stupidity can be toxic. Terrorism and Islam have been used so often together that it has caused a cognitive fusion in many minds. Articles had to talk about why talking about ‘Islamic Terrorism’ was just as absurd as to talk about ‘Jewish Terrorism’, ‘Christian Terrorism’ or ‘Hindu Terrorism’.

Much like White nationalists, Hindu nationalists have benefitted the most from the corporate media that uses Islam and Terrorism alternatively, as it’s becoming quite an accepted idea in many parts of the country, the potential threat- aggression of Muslims, and it is conveniently pitted against ‘National Security’. Of course, this isn’t to place the fear of the other, within the short span of merely two decades. We have always been afraid of ‘difference’, in the case of mainstream Kerala, it was always the ‘Muslims’ not the Christians and Communists as much. However, the logic of Hindutva that operates now in its micro fascistic ways even through those it oppresses the most has exploded beyond control, that words like ‘fascists’, ‘fanatic’  ‘communal’  ‘fundamentalist’ and ‘terrorist’ are used carelessly against any political force that has considerable Muslim presence, even if not an  ‘exclusive’ Muslim presence, rather than critique the actual source of power.

The murder of a student SFI leader Abhimanyu on Maharajas Campus in Kerala was a traumatising eye opener to this reality for me. Endless scholarly articles, news debates and social media discussions associated the horrific activities of a few members of PFI, a party with considerable Muslim presence, but not exclusively, to philosophical and political trends in WANA and other Muslim majority nations of South Asia. Accusations of Salafi Jihadism, Maududism, Qutubism and Wahhabism to be the cause of the violence was put forth along with theories of Saudi Funding, SIMI terrorism and in the worst cases, even funnily ISIS. It’s difficult to think beyond all this scholarly jargon, which ultimately was often just lazy journalism, which confirmed existing stereotypes, in a dangerous sensational way, without looking at the peculiarities of Kerala politics and the precariousness of Muslims in politics. Why do genuine domestic qualms about material and political existence by Muslims in the Indian state always get treated as a global conspiracy?

To be a Muslim in itself is a politically charged precarious situation to be in, in an ever-growing Hindu Nationalist country and to assert political visibility is almost suicidal. The Muslim in Kerala always needs to prove his /her (especially ‘his’) Nationalism, Secularism and hatred for Terrorism, in whatever way the state defines all of these. The so-called ‘Muslim Organisations’ which, I repeat aren’t exclusively ‘Muslim’ organisations are vulnerable unlike how media reports make them out to be. It’s this very vulnerability, the trauma of always being dismissed, erased and invisibilised that informs their political practice. It’s hilarious when organisations like CPI (M) patronisingly calls for ‘class’ politics rather than caste or community without examining its own community base; or when Congress calls forth Nationalism, in a state that has, again and again, failed its Muslim and Dalit citizens and has often opportunistically used ‘Secularism’ for electoral gains. What ‘Secularism’ as a binary of ‘Communalism’ in the current Indian state implies is the extermination of Muslim presence in liberal democracy by hypocritically saying it is communal, without any self-reflexivity. In a ‘Hindu State’, it has meant arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial or encounter killings, incarceration and in some cases even death sentence without a fair trial for its Muslim and Dalit citizens.

If Kerala wants to fancy itself as some kind of liberal utopia that is now being destroyed by ‘communal’ forces or increasing ‘religious fundamentalism’ which strangely is disproportionately Muslim, well then we need to rethink how our textbooks killed, all those who talked about justice by either calling them ‘fanatic’ or invisibility the voices of dissent.

Let’s talk about the ‘real’ history of exclusion, which hasn’t been written, where Marx says the conflict of contradictory forces happens for transformation. I doubt if he would have agreed with the expulsion of a minority, (whose citizenship itself is always under scrutiny) from the political presence in a liberal democracy to be definitional of class politics. Of course, he wouldn’t have agreed with the theory or current practice of many of these dominant ‘‘Muslim’’ parties, but he would have placed it in the specificities of a political understanding that is attempting to merely survive, to exist. Maybe he would have expanded his theory to include the psycho-social in his Political Economy. And who cares about Marx anyway today, we Malayalis have become sick of his language and Socialism, or the critique of Capital (which no doubt is brilliant) isn’t exclusive to Marx.

Fatima Ahmed,  mother of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed, was dragged away screaming and struggling, from a protest site in Delhi today. Najeeb mysteriously went missing from his hostel room a year ago on Oct 13. His mother and friends had been demanding answers about his whereabouts ever since then. A fresh protest began on the first anniversary of his disappearance and Fatima was seen demanding answers from authorities even as the case was being heard by the Delhi High Court today. “Kahaan hai mera beta? Kaun batayega mujhe,” (Where is my son? Who will tell me?) she was heard asking. Shortly after she started speaking to members of the press, a few police women arrived and dragged her into a police vehicle even as other policemen tried to keep the media and other protesters away from her.
 

The post Missing JNU student’s mother dragged away by cops even as court slams CBI for shoddy investigation appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Over 700 protesters, led by JN U student Najeeb Ahmed’s family have been staging a sit in outside CBI’s headquarters at Delhi even as CBI has so far, refused to speak to them. Sadaf Musharraf, Najeeb’s sister speaking to Sabrangindia bemoaned the fact that the central agency has turned a blind eye to the anguished protesters. protesting.

Last October 14 was the last that Najeeb Ahmed was seen alive. A student of JNU and resident of Delhi, living in the Mahi-Mandvi Hostel, Najeeb had been brutally attacked and beaten by students affiliated to the RSS-ABVP. Najeeb was a student of MSC Biotech. Since October 15, almost a year now he is missing. When Najeeb’s mother went to register a police complaint, Delhi policemen prevented her from writing down the name of the ABVP students who she knows are believed to have assaulted her son. Thereafter, it is reported that several students of JNU who were also eeye-witnesses have also made written complaints to the JNU administration.

The statement released by the protesters:

1. The JNU Administration is not initiating any steps to actually unearth what happened or transpired with Najeeb.The JNu Proctor’s Report has pointed fingers to the role of four students belonging to the ABVP. The Security personnel and Warden too have testified to the violence on Najeeb perpetrated by students of the ABVP. But, it is alleged that the Vice Chancellor (allied to the RSS) has changed the contents of these reports.

2. The JNU Administration and VC have, to date not met with the family members of Najeeb.

3. The JNU administration has misled the Court

Role of BJP Government and Police

1. From the start, it is alleged, that the police role was in protecting the ABVP, not in tracing or finding Najeeb.  The Police did not write the name of those ABVP students named and identified for beating najeeb, in the FIR. AQBVp students and leaders have not been questioned and no sincere steps have been made in locating Najeeb. The investigation has been pushed around from the police, to the SIT with no intention to get to the root oft he issue/crime.

2. False versions are circulated to derail the demands for a fair and indepedent investigation.

3. No conceret steps despite strictures by the Court.

4. The conduct of the CBI has been even more irersponsible: for over three months no statements fo witensses have been recorded.

5. Representatives of the BJP government have consistently been feeding false and malicious stories to the media about Najeeb.

6. It is the BJP that has spent money on engaging expensing counsel for ABVP students to defend their reprehensible conduct.

7. Even after the case was handed over to CBI, two court dates have passed and nothing concrete has emerged from the investigation. The one year experience tells us (the family) that no agency under the BJP government will ever get to the truth of the matter since the ABVP is involved.

Hence the appeal for the protest that has now converted to an all night SIT IN.

Apologize for False Najeeb Story

Here is the DUJ's Press Release:

Press Release

TOI MUST APOLOGISE FOR FALSE NAJEEB STORY

The Delhi Union of Journalists is shocked that a leading daily like the Times of India should have discredited itself by publishing a malicious and misleading report on the missing JNU student Najeeb. The DUJ demands that the TOI issue an immediate apology for maligning a boy who is missing and unable to defend his reputation. 

The TOI report alleged that Najeeb had been surfing the Internet for information on the Islamic State and ways to join it.  It claimed that he had watched many videos on the Islamic State and was “watching a video of the speech of an IS leader on the night of October 14, just before he had a scuffle with ABVP members…” The story by TOI reporter Rajshekhar Jha was published both on the front page and page three on March 21, 2017.

This kite flying story was attributed to unnamed police sources and claimed the police had received “a report on the browsing history of Najeeb’s laptop from Google and YouTube”.  The following day Deputy Police Commissioner Madhur Verma denied that any report had been received from Google and YouTube and said “investigation conducted so far has not revealed anything to suggest that Najeeb had accessed any site relating to IS”. Special Commissioner of Police and Delhi police spokesperson Dependra Pathak also rubbished the TOI story in his statement to Hindustan Times.

It is apparent that the story was meant to discredit Najeeb and find an alibi for the Delhi Police’s inability to trace the missing boy. The story went into great detail on reported Police moves to search for him.

Jha’s clearly motivated story also went into allegations about Najeeb’s medical history, claiming he had been on drugs for obsessive compulsive disorder, sleeplessness, depression, fits, panic attacks and agoraphobia.  Najeeb’s family has previously denied that he was on such medication but the TOI chose to repeat all this in great detail.

The TOI published the false story on its front page with the heading “Najeeb saw IS videos, websites” on March 21, 2017 and another report on page three with a three-column bold headline “Najeeb searched for information on IS”.  However, the retraction it was forced to publish after criticism on social media was carried as a single column item on page 5 with the neutral headline, “Police deny Najeeb report” on March 22, 2017. This was merely a verbatim report of a statement by DCP Verma.

The Delhi Union of Journalists demands an apology by the TOI for its irresponsible and false reports. It also demands that the story be removed from its website immediately.

Najeeb Ahmed has been missing from JUN campus since October 15, 2016

A police party of more than 70 cops raided Najeeb’s home in Badaun today at 4 am. They not only came unannounced but also misbehaved and pushed his family members and relatives. A few days back Najeeb’s uncle also received a threat call. 2 days back, one of his friends was interrogated by the Crime Branch.

Yesterday, some Twitter handles in a very cordinated manner were spreading the lie that Najeeb has been found. All this is nothing but clear tactics at intimidation of those standing by Najeeb’s mother. Does the Delhi Police realize that by doing all this they only reaffirm our contention that Najeeb did not just dissappear, rather he was made to disappear.

And those responsible for his enforced disappearance are now mobilizing state power to save themselves, spread misinformation and hound those fighting for #JusticeForNajeeb. The special focus of their attack is of course Fatima Nafees, Najeeb’s mother, and by doing all this they want to isolate and pressurize her into withdrawing the petition that she has filed.

But sangh-giroh and Delhi Police, you should know we will not let that happen. Fatima Nafees is not alone and all the justice loving people of this country are with her!

यूपी प्रेस क्लब, लखनऊ में रिहाई मंच द्वारा आयोजित ‘सियासत की कैद में बेगुनाह’ सम्मेलन में ‘बेगुनाह दहशतगर्द’ किताब का विमोचन करते हुए आयशा बेगम ने कहा कि जब वह पहली बार लखनऊ अपने बेटे आफताब की रिहाई के लिए आईं थीं उस मंजर को आज भी सोचकर सिहर जाती हैं और उसे याद नहीं करना चाहती हैं। उस वक्त शुऐब साहब मिले और उनसे मैंने कहा कि मेरा बेटा बेगुनाह है उसे रिहा करवा दीजिए। शुऐब साहब ने मुकदमा लेने में कोई ना-नुकुर नहीं की। उस दरम्यान बेटे से मिलने के लिए जेल के पास की चाय की दुकानों पर वक्त कटा और जब मैं वापस गई और मालूम चला कि बेटा रिहा होने वाला है और पुलिस के लोग कहने लगे की वो उनके बेटे को घर छोड़ देंगे तो मैंने शुऐब भाई से बात की कि भाई आप उसे अपने पास रख लीजिएगा नहीं तो वे किसी दूसरे केस में न उसे फंसा दें। 
 
पुस्तक के लेखक और रिहाई मंच नेता मसीहुद्दीन संजरी ने कहा कि उत्तर प्रदेश में आतंकवाद के आरोपों से बरी अन्य नौजवानों के बारे में तथ्यों और दस्तावेजी आधार पर बहुत कुछ लिखे जाने की योजना है। क्योंकि इनकी कहानियां सिर्फ किसी व्यक्ति की नहीं बल्कि एक पूरे समाज, राज्य मशीनरी से लेकर न्यायपालिका तक में व्याप्त फासीवादी मानसिकता को कटघरे में खड़ा करती हैं।
 
आजमगढ़ का होने के कारण जिसे आंतकवाद की नर्सरी के बतौर खुफिया विभाग और मीडिया का एक हिस्सा प्रचारित करता रहा है, मैने इसे अपनी जिम्मेदारी समझा की इस निर्मित धारणा को तोड़ा जाए जिसका परिणाम यह पुस्तक है। उन्होंने कहा कि पुस्तक का नाम ‘बेगुनाह दहशतगर्द’ इसलिए रखा कि राज्य ने इनपर दहशतगर्दी का जो ठप्पा लगाया वो उनके रिहा होने के बावजूद भी नहीं हटा और इसीलिए उनकी रिहाई के बाद जब उनको जमानतदारों की जरूरत होती है तो शुऐब साहब जैसे लोगों को अपनी पत्नी और साले को जमानतदार के बतौर खड़ा करना पड़ता है।
 
कोलकाता से आए आफताब ने 27 दिसंबर 2007 को कोलकाता से उठाए जाने की अपनी दास्तान को बताते हुए कहा कि आतंकवाद के आरोपों से घिरे वो 22 दिन इतने डरवाने रहे हैं कि उसे जिंदगी भर नहीं भूल सकता। जब मुझे एक लोन गारंटर की शिनाख्त के बहाने कोलकाता से सीआईडी ने उठाया और यूपी एसटीएफ के हाथों दिन रात मारा पीटा गया, मैं कहता रहा कि आतंकवाद से मेरा कोई संबन्ध नहीं है पर वे मानते नहीं थे। पर 23 नवंबर 2007 का एक मेडिकल सर्टीफिकेट मेरी बेगुनाही का प्रमाण बना जिसके बाद मैं रिहा हो सका। मैं उस दर्द को आज भी नहीं भूल सकता कि इस आतंक के कंलक की वजह से मेरी बहन की शादी टूट गई।
 
आतंकवाद के मामलों में फंसाए गए बेगुनाहों के वकील रणधीर सिंह सुमन ने कहा कि पिछले 10 सालों में ऐसे मुकदमें देखने के तजुर्बे से मैं कह सकता हूं कि आतंकवाद के नाम पर न सिर्फ बेगुनाहों को फंसाया जाता है बल्कि आतंकी घटनाएं भी राज्य मशीनरी और साम्प्रदायिक तत्व ही मिलकर कराते हैं। जिनकी अगली मंशा यही होती है किसी भी तरह डरा-धमका कर वकीलों को इन मुकदमों की पैरवी से दूर रखा जाए। यह सब एक योजना का हिस्सा होता है। इसीलिए हम लोगों के ऊपर लखनऊ, फैजाबाद से लेकर बाराबंकी ही नहीं देश के दूसरे हिस्सों में हमले होते हैं। लिहाजा यह जरूरी हो जाता है कि ऐसे मुकदमों के साथ ही जनता के बीच भी आंदोलन हों ताकि हम वकीलों के पक्ष में भी समाज का जनमत बने। रिहाई मंच और मसीहुद्दीन संजरी ने ये काम बखूबी किया है। 
 
रिहाई मंच अध्यक्ष एडवोकेट मो. शुऐब ने कहा कि इन 10 सालों में आतंकवाद के नाम पर गढ़े गए हिंदुत्ववादी धारणा को तोड़ने और उसका काउंटर नैरेटिव निर्मित करने की हमारी कोशिश रही है। इसमें हम कितना सफल हुए हम नहीं जानते ये तय करना आवाम का काम है। उन्होंने कहा कि हमने आवाम से जो वादे किए उनपर कायम रहे और आज भी इंसाफ के लिए लड़ रहे हैं लेकिन सरकार लगातार आवाम से वादाखिलाफी कर रही है। अखिलेश सरकार ने बेगुनाहों को छोड़ने का वादा तो नहीं निभाया उल्टे जो लोग अदालतों से बरी हुए उनके खिलाफ अपील में जाकर उन्हें फिर जेल भेजने की साजिश रच रही है। रिहाई मंच इस साजिश को एक बार फिर जनता के सहयोग से नाकाम करेगा। मो. शुऐब ने कहा कि आज इस पुस्तक का विमोचन करने के लिए हमने आफताब आलम अंसारी की मां आयशा बेगम को इसीलिए बुलाया है ताकि अपने बच्चों के इंसाफ के लिए लड़ने वाली मांओं का हम सम्मान करें और रोहित वेमुला जिनकी हत्या का भी कल एक साल होने जा रहा है उनकी मां और नजीब की संघर्षरत मां के साथ अपनी एकजुटता दर्शा सकें। इन्हीं मांओं का संघर्ष नए समाज और देश का निर्माण करेगा।

ये अपील सोशल मीडिया पर 2 दिन से घूम रही है. ये अपील है एक बेबस और मजबूर माँ की जिसका जवान बेटा दिल्ली की एक बड़ी यूनिवर्सिटी से 2 महीने से ज़्यादा समय से गायब है. जेएनयू का छात्र नजीब अहमद 2 महीने पहले ABVB के कुछ छात्रों के साथ हुई झड़प, जिसमें उसे कथित तौर पर बुरी तरह पीटा गया, के बाद से अपने होस्टल से गायब है.

उसी दिन से यूपी से आई हुई उसकी माँ दिल्ली में दर-दर भटक रही है इस उम्मीद में कि कोई तो उसके बेटे को ढूंड कर लाएगा. यूनिवर्सिटी प्रशासन, दिल्ली सरकार, केंद्र सरकार, यूपी सरकार – ऐसा कोई दर नहीं हैं जहाँ इस दुखियारी माँ ने फरियाद ना की हो लेकिन अब तक कोई सुराग नहीं मिला.

हैरानी की बात है कि आज तक ABVP के उन छात्रों से कड़ाई से पूछताछ नहीं की गयी जिन्होंने नजीब के साथ मारपीट की थी. इन छात्रों का लाई डिटेक्टर टेस्ट भी नही हुआ क्योंकि उन्होंने इसे करने से इनकार कर दिया.

वहीं नजीब के रूम-मेट का लाई डिटेक्टर टेस्ट करने का आदेश ज़रूर हुआ. उसे भी कई बार दौड़ाने के बाद टेस्ट अब तक नहीं लिया गया.

नजीब को खोजने में दिल्ली पुलिस का रवैया भी बहुत ही उदासीन रहा है. इसको लेकर उसे कोर्ट से फटकार भी पड़ी जिसके बाद पुलिस ने जेएनयू में बड़े स्तर पर तलाशी शुरू की लेकिन नतीजा अब भी वही.

वहीं नजीब की माँ की सेहत भी बिगड़ रही है लेकिन वो बेटे की तलाश छोड़ने को कतई तैयार नहीं हैं. हर तरफ से हताश हो कर अब इस माँ ने ऐलान किया है की अगर साल के अंत तक उनका बेटा नहीं मिला और दोषी छात्रों को गिरफ्तार नहीं किया गया तो वो अपने बड़े बेटे के साथ आमरण अनशन पर बैठ जाएँगी.

उनकी इस माँग का ओवैसी की AIMIM ने भी समर्थन किया है. MIM के नेता जावेद ख़ान ने कहा हमारी माँग है की नजीब को जल्द से जल्द खोजा जाए और ABVP के मारपीट करने वाले छात्रों को सज़ा दी जाए. सही पूछताछ करके गुनहगार का पता लगाया जाए और नजीब की माँ के साथ इंसाफ़ किया जाए.

इस मुद्दे पर सोशल मीडिया पर नजीब की माँ को बहुत से जाने माने लोगों का समर्थन मिल रहा है. लेखक एवं पत्रकार वसीम अकरम त्यागी ने कई बार इस मुद्दे को उठाया, समाजसेवी नावेद चौधरी अन्य सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं के साथ अनेक बार नजीब की माँ का प्रोटेस्ट मार्च में साथ दे चुके हैं.
