Entire country with you, Pinarayi Vijayan tells Aishe Ghosh

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday wished success and offered all support to the protest undertaken by the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) against fee hike and the anti-constitutional legislations such as Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The CM conveyed this to Aishe Ghosh, president of JNU students’ union, who visited him at Kerala House, New Delhi.
Vijayan asked Ghosh about her injuries suffered in the attack by masked goons and about other students who had suffered injuries. “The entire country is with you in your fight for justice,” the CM told Ghosh. “Everyone knows about your fight and what costs you to stand by your causes,” he said, congratulating the students for the relentless struggle they have undertaken for several weeks.
Ghosh, who conveyed thanks to the overwhelming support the students of JNU were receiving from Kerala, said the political stand taken by the Pinarayi Vijayan government has inspired the students of JNU. “Kerala has been leading the protest against CAA. JNU students’ union takes inspiration from the struggle Kerala has been leading. Comrade Pinarayi asked us to go ahead. The fight to save secular ethos and democratic values of the country should go on,” Ghosh told reporters after the meeting.
The CM gifted a copy of ‘Halla Bol: The Death and Life of Safdar Hashmi’ by Sudhavna Deshpande to Ghosh. Kerala’s representative in Delhi, A Sampath, SFI national president Mayukh Biswas and JNU students Nikhil Varghese and Nitheesh Narayanan were also present in the meeting.
The LDF government in Kerala which took the lead to pass an assembly resolution against CAA and NRC with the support of opposition UDF issued advertisements in major dailies in New Delhi on Friday claiming that the state is on the forefront of fights to save the Constitution and secularism.
