Statement against RSS attack on journalist Neha Dixit and press freedom

On By Nivedita MenonIn Politics, Right watch

UPDATE: The statement now includes below, 31 endorsements received from Gujarat as of 19 August 2016

This statement is being posted with the hundred-plus signatures received between 1 pm and 8 pm today. Please endorse in the comments section if you wish to do so.

We, the undersigned journalists, activists and academics, condemn in the strongest terms, the brazen attack launched by RSS organizations and individuals on journalist Neha Dixit and Outlook magazine for a thorough investigative report by Dixit based on three months of field work. This report revealed how different Sangh outfits trafficked 31 tribal girls, some as young as three years, from tribal areas of Assam, to Punjab and Gujarat. Orders were issued to these organizations by the Assam State Commission for the Protection of Child Rights, the Child Welfare Committee (Kokrajhar), the State Child Protection Society, and Childline (Delhi and Patiala), to return the children to Assam. These orders were violated with impunity by Sangh-run institutions with the help of the Gujarat and Punjab governments.

On the publication of this report in Outlook, a police complaint was lodged at Latasil Police Station on grounds of inciting communal hatred, and the police registered an FIR against Indranil Roy (Publisher), Krishna Prasad (Editor) of Outlook and Neha Dixit, writer of the story. The complainants are Bijon Mahajan (BJP spokesperson and Gauhati High Court advocate), Mominul Awwal (BJP Minority Cell) and Subhash Chandra Kayal (Assistant Solicitor General).

Instead of launching an investigation into the trafficking, the police have chosen to act on a frivolous and motivated complaint against those who exposed the crime.  We demand that the police immediately file charges against those who conduct child trafficking.

In addition, RSS organizations have started a campaign targeting Neha Dixit and Outlook in social media, claiming “defamation”, and we can expect more trumped up police complaints and legal interventions. We are also aware that these Hindutva brigades often take the law into their own hands, unleashing violence with impunity, emboldened by the current regime.

RSS organizations and individuals have long used the law and police machinery to hound artists and intellectuals from MF Hussain to Ashis Nandy, invoking the legal section of “inciting communal hatred” to stifle freedom of expression, using it whenever their own communally violent and hate-inducing tactics and actions are revealed and made public. Journalists are particularly vulnerable, as their investigative reports that reveal RSS organizations’ strategies to attack minorities, Hinduise tribals and created hatred between communities, are themselves targeted as “inciting communal hatred”.We condemn these familiar and reprehensible tactics of the RSS machinery and appeal to our legal justice system to be alert to the misuse of courts and legal machinery by these forces.

We also demand that all criminal action against Neha Dixit and Outlook be dropped, as this is an intolerable attack on freedom of the press to publish thoroughly researched articles in the public interest.

    INDIAN CIVIL SOCIETY is WAKING up now ( When it appears ALMOST to be TOO LATE in the DAY), to the DANGERS of FLIRTING WITH an AUTOCRATIC, MEGALOMANIACAL& PSYCHOPATHIC MASS MURDERER, that MANY members of this INDIAN SOCIETY DID in 2014 ( in all 31 PERCENT of THEM) knowing FULLY WELL that neither a TIGER ever CHANGES its STRIPE nor a LEOPARD its SPOTS and similarly,the fact remains that the FASCISTS will ALWAYS remain FASCISTS even if they WEAR a MASQUERADE of DEVELOPMENT to HOODWINK gullible MASSES during ELECTION CAMPAIGNS!

    It has almost become a DO-or DIE Battle now for our “TRULY DEMOCRATIC ,SECULAR and JUST MEMBERS of our SOCIETY to “PROTECT not just OUR BASIC CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES of EQUITY,JUSTICE & SECULARISM but to FIGHT OPENLY against the INSIDIOUS and BLATANT ATTEMPT to SUBVERT the CONSTITUTION and RULE of LAW, through RELIGIOUS MOBILIZATION by a RIGHT WING HYDRA-HEADED PARIVAR USING its TENTACLES LIKE EMBRACE of GULLIBLE MASSES and through its MAFIA like SPREAD and NETWORKS of GROUPS of (Mostly)UNEDUCATED & UNEMPLOYED GOONS and LUMPENS through INSIDIOUS INDOCTRINATION using all the “JOSEPH GOEBBELS” methods of “FALSE PROPAGANDA!

    1. The Kerala High Court intervened in a similar situation when thousands of young children were brought to Kerala by Muslim league’s Yatheem Khana. Why the OUTLOOK magazine avoided this story is baffling It was more than 10000 children trafficked by Muslin league in Kerala and that party was ruling Kerala with Congress at that time. So the Kerala Govt stonewalled any enquiry into the allegation. The Hon. Kerala High Court even ordered a CBI Probe. http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/hc-orders-cbi-to-probe-into-children-trafficking-in-kerala/

    Neha Dixit’s excellent article meets all the standards that we expect of scholarly work in its most productive sense. It must be bizarre times for democracy in this country that those who need to reconcile their humanity with the difficult questions raised in the article think that an FIR is the best way to respond to it. I fully endorse this statement.

    Neha needs to be commended for exposing the hitherto dark side of the RSS, unknown to most, and one that’s shadowy and opaque in nature.
    The fact that the RSS’ activities have the tacit sanction of the bigwigs in the BJP and the NDA must be brought out in greater detail, and must be made known to the world at large.

    Recently the Outlook magazine ran a story exposing child trafficking of adivasi girls by RSS affiliates like Sewa Bharati and Rashtra Sevika Samiti in Assam. The story was based on solid investigation and documentary evidence tracing the trafficking trail from Assam to Gujarat and Punjab. Today we have received shocking information that an FIR has been lodged against the reporter, the editor and the publisher of the Outlook magazine. This is a clear case of witch hunt and unjust persecution when the RSS is unable to counter the story with credible facts. The DSF strongly condemns the attack on free speech and the media and views this as an attempt to coerce and silence those who are daring to speak truth to power. We appeal to all progressive and democratic sections to provide full solidarity and support to those who are being victimised and resist such onslaughts on democratic spaces.

    AIDWA Press release

    The All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) strongly condemns the manner in which the police have lodged false criminal cases against the Publisher and Editor of Outlook magazine, and the author of one of its recent stories, Neha Dixit, at the behest of certain members connected with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. This is one more example of how the police and law enforcement machinery is being used to curb the freedom of expression and hound media persons speaking up against communal strategies of the Sangh Parivar. AIDWA demands that these cases be withdrawn immediately, and police protection provided to all of them avoid any possible physical attacks from goons owing allegiance to Hindutva forces.

    In a statement issued on 2nd of August 2016, the AIDWA has conveyed its strong protest about the trafficking of 31 young tribal girls from Assam in order to indoctrinate them in RSS camps, as reported in Outlook. We reiterate our demand that since this amounts to a violation of national and international child trafficking laws, cases should be filed against the traffickers, alleged to be RSS workers from Punjab and Gujarat.
