New Delhi, March 22 The Jamia Coordination Committee has temporarily suspended it's ongoing 24 hrs sit-in protest at gate no. 7, near Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI) citing coronavirus outbreak, but not before playing politics.In a statement it said, "With a heavy heart but great hope in our hearts, we temporarily suspend the ongoing 24 hrs sit-in protest at Gate no. 7, JMI and appeal to all protesters to kindly take the situation with utmost seriousness and save themselves and others from this fatal illness."However, while making a case to fight the outbreak, it said, "In times like these, we must introspect our actions and remind ourselves that in the face of death we are all equal; so why exclude, why discriminate, why repress, why exploit, why kill, why violate ? This global epidemic must serve as a reminder of global injustice, global inequality and global violence."Making its stand clear that it continues to remain against the Citizenship Amendment Act, NRC or NPR, it urged the centre to stop the NPR process at once. In a clear case of making a political point even in face of such deadly pandemic, the Jamia Coordination Committee said, "We again appeal to the government to repeal the discriminatory anti-constitutional CAA, NRC and the NPR. The current crisis is a clear reminder of the fact that humanity is for all irrespective of religion."What's more? They even dubbed Sunday's 'janta curfew' where PM Modi urged all to stay indoors through the day as 'jumla'."We would also like to reiterate our misgivings with jumlas such as 'janta curfew'. It would be instead wise to encourage people to 'quarantine for humanity'. The focus must remain of voluntary and honest self-initiated precautions. No situation must be utilised to normalise curfews," it said.( With inputs from IANS )
