Last week forty nine retired civil servants had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding him and his Government responsible for the “terrible state of affairs” in Kathua and Unnao. Expressing solidarity with those civil servants over 600 academics from all over the world have sent an open letter to the prime minister. The open letter signed by the likes of Noam Chomsky expresses deep anger and anguish over these “monstrous crimes” and the effort by the state governments concerned to protect the alleged perpetrators. (To read the Bengali translated version of the open statement by Indian Association of People’s Lawyers on the role of the Kathua Bar Association published earlier on groundxero, click here).
Groundxero is reproducing the full text of the open letter below.
To
The Prime Minister of India,
Prime Minister’s Office, South Block,
Raisina Hill, New Delhi 110 001.
21 April 2018
Mr Prime Minister,
We are academics and independent scholars from India and abroad, writing to express solidarity with, and to endorse the sentiments expressed by, forty-nine retired civil servants in their open letter to you of April 16th 2018 .
Along with these civil servants and countless other citizens of India and the world at large, we wish to express our deep anger and anguish over the events in Kathua and Unnao and the aftermath of these events; over the efforts, in both cases, of those administering the relevant States to protect the alleged perpetrators of these monstrous crimes; over the subsequent profoundly distasteful efforts of rationalisation, deflection and diversion that have been so much in evidence in the reactions of your party’s spokespersons in the media; and finally over your own prolonged (and by now familiar) silence that was broken only recently with wholly inadequate, platitudinous, and non-specific assurances of justice for the victims.
Kathua and Unnao are not isolated incidents. They are part of a pattern of repeated targeted attacks on minority religious communities, Dalits, tribals and women, in which rape and lynching have been employed as instruments of violence by gau rakshaks and others, in a sequence of events spread across Dadri in Uttar Pradesh (2015), Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir (2015), Bijapur and Sukma in Chhattisgarh (2015-16), Harda in Madhya Pradesh (2016), Latehar in Jharkand (2016), Una in Gujarat (2016), Rohtak in Haryana (2017), Delhi (2017), Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh (2017), and now Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh (2018).
Many of these events have occurred in States with BJP Governments, and all of them after the BJP assumed power at the Centre. This is not to associate violence exclusively with your party and with State governments presided over by your party. But there is an undeniable association with the ruling dispensation.
There is little evidence, in government action, of an appreciation of the importance of providing assistance to vulnerable sections of the society – whether through promotional measures aimed at enabling tribals and nomads to have access to forest and common property rights, or through preventive measures aimed at discouraging blatant breaches of the rule of law. Even the Allahabad High Court on April 12th 2018 observed: “If this is the conduct of the police in the state, whom will a victim approach to register a complaint? If this is the stand you are repeatedly taking then we will be forced to observe in our order that law and order has collapsed in the state”.
We send you this letter because it is our duty to do so; so that we are not guilty of silence; and so that callousness and cowardice might finally draw the line at the broken body of a little girl and the rape of a young woman.
Signed:

গত সপ্তাহে ঊনচল্লিশ জন অবসর প্রাপ্ত আমলা এক যোগে প্রধানমন্ত্রী নরেন্দ্র মোদি-কে একটি চিঠি লিখে উন্নাও আর কাঠুয়ার ভয়াবহ ঘটনার জন্য তার সরকার এবং তাকে সরাসরি দায়ী করেছেন। এদের বক্তব্যের সাথে সংহতি জানিয়ে বিশ্বের নানা প্রান্তের ৬০০ জন শিক্ষাবিদ প্রধানমন্ত্রীকে একটি খোলা চিঠি দিয়েছেন । নাওম চমস্কির ন্যায় ব্যক্তিত্ব দ্বারা সাক্ষরিত এই চিঠিতে এই জঘন্য অপরাধ ও অপরাধীকে বাঁচাতে রাজ্য সরকারের ভুমিকায় তীব্র ক্ষোভ ও হতাশা প্রকাশ করা হয়েছে।
(কাঠুয়া বার অ্যাসোসিয়েসান এর ভুমিকা সম্বন্ধে ইন্ডিয়ান অ্যাসোসিয়েসন অফ পিপলস লইয়ার এর মতামত এর উপর গ্রাঊন্ডক্সিরোর বাংলা প্রতিবেদনের জন্য এখানে ক্লিক করুন )
খোলা-চিঠির পুরো বয়ান
ভারতের প্রধান মন্ত্রী,
প্রধান মন্ত্রীর দপ্তর, সাউথ ব্লক
রাইসিনা হিলস , নয়া দিল্লী ১১০০০১
২১ শে এপ্রিল, ২০১৮
প্রধানমন্ত্রীজি,
আমরা , ভারত ও বাকি বিশ্বের শিক্ষাবিদ ও স্বাধীন গবেষক রা , গত ১৬ই এপ্রিল আপনাকে লিখিত অবসর প্রাপ্ত সরকারি আমলাদের চিঠিতে প্রকাশিত ভাবনার সংহতিতে আজ এই চিঠি লিখছি ।এদের ও অগনিত ভারত ও বহির্বিশ্বের নাগরিকদের সাথে একসাথে আমরা কাঠুয়া , উন্নাও এর ঘটনা , এবং পরবর্তী সময়ে , উভয় ক্ষেত্রে অপরাধীকে আড়াল করতে ক্ষমতা সীন সরকার ও তার দলদাসদের ভুমিকায় তীব্র ক্ষোভ ও যন্ত্রণা প্রকাশ করছি, তীব্র নিন্দা করছি আপনার দলীয় মুখপাত্রের ঘটনার মুখ ঘুরানোর, হালকা করার চেষ্টায় অত্যন্ত নিম্ন রুচির ধান্দাবাজির। এরও উপরে রয়েছে আপনার নিজের লম্বা ( এবং এদ্দিনে পরিচিত) মৌনতার শেষে ছিটেফোঁটা মামুলি আর অনির্দিষ্ট ন্যায়বিচারের ভরসা দিয়ে দায় সারা ।
কাঠুয়া আর উন্নাও বিচ্ছিন্ন কোন ঘটনা নয়। এ হল একটাই ছকের অংশ, স্থির লক্ষ্যে আক্রমণ। কখনো সংখ্যালঘু,কখনো দলিত, কখনো উপজাতি এবং মেয়েরা লক্ষ্য। ধর্ষণ আর পিটিয়ে মারার এই হিংস্র আয়ুধ ব্যবহার করে চলেছে গোরক্ষক বা অন্যরা, যা চলেই চলেছে দাদরি ( উত্তর প্রদেশ ২০১৫), উধমপুর ( জম্মু ২০১৫) বিজাপুর আর সুকমা (ছত্তিশগড়, ২০১৫-১৬) , হার্দা (মধ্যপ্রদেশ ২০১৬) লাতেহার ( ঝাড়খণ্ড ২০১৬) উনা (গুজরাট ২০১৬) রোহতক (হরিয়ানা ২০১৭) থেকে এখন উত্তর প্রদেশ আর জম্মু তে ।
ঘটনার অনেকগুলি ঘটেছে ভাজপা শাসিত রাজ্যে, আর সব কটা ঘটনাই কেন্দ্রে ভাজপার বর্তমান সরকারের আমলে। এই উল্লেখ কোন ভাবেই হিংস্রতার সাথে আপনার দল বা আপনার দল চালিত রাজ্যের সম্পর্ক গড়ার চেষ্টা নয়। কিন্তু দুটোর মধ্যে যোগ যে আছে সেও অস্বীকার করা যায় না।
এই সরকারের দুর্বলতম শ্রেণীগুলিকে সহায়তা করার ইচ্ছায় গুরুত্ব দেবার প্রবণতার উদাহরণ বড়ই কম। আদিবাসী বা যাযাবরদের অরণ্য বা রাষ্ট্রীয় সম্পদের অধিকার এর দাবি টিকে এগিয়ে নিয়ে যাবার কথাই হোক বা আগাম প্রতিরোধ ব্যবস্থার মাধ্যমে আইন ভাঙার প্রবণতাকে আটকানো , সর্বত্রই এক হাল।
এমনকি এলাহাবাদ হাইকোর্ট পর্যন্ত ১২ই এপ্রিল ২০১৮ বলেছেন “ এই যদি পুলিসের কাজের ধারা হয়, তা হলে লোকে অভিযোগ নিয়ে যাবে কোথায়? এই যদি আপনাদের অবস্থান হয়,তা হলে কোর্ট বাধ্য হবে তাঁদের নির্দেশে এটা বলতে যে আইন শৃঙ্খলা সম্পূর্ণ ভেঙে পরেছে।“
আমরা এই চিঠি লিখছি, কারণ এ আমাদের দায়, চুপ করে থাকা এখন ক্ষমাহীন অপরাধ। এই ধর্ষিতা কিশোরীর আর ক্ষতবিক্ষত শিশু কন্যার মৃত মুখ এর দিকে তাকিয়েই যেন এই নিষ্ঠুরতা আর ভীরুতার অন্ত হয়, এই আমাদের দাবি।
