Ayishi Ghosh’s Grand Ma wants her early recovery to continue her protest.
Durgapur(West Burdwan)/Kolkata, 6 January (HS): In spite of expressing her serious concern at the present(health) condition of Ayishi Ghosh, the President of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union at a New Delhi hospital following her injury, her 84-year grandmother does ‘not want her to leave the path of protest because of her inborn tough nature and non-compromising stand on every issue she believes’.
‘We know that since her childhood she never accepted any undoing and never compromised with anything she thought unjust ‘ said Ayishi’s grandmother Shanti Ghosh here today. Commenting on Ayishi’s injury and her subsequent admission at the AIMS in New Delhi for treatment of multiple injuries which she received last night during an attack by unidentified masked goons inside the University campus, the grandmother of the final year Postgraduate student of International Relations at JNU, said ‘however we are greatly concerned about her frail health and want her speedy and early recovery so that she could once again resume her studies and daily courses’.
Condemning the last night’s alleged unprovoked attack on Ayishi and several of her co-students besides some JNU teaches by the masked assailants, Shanti Ghosh also criticized the role of the Delhi Police for failing to protect her granddaughter from being attacked.
‘We were informed that apprehending such unprovoked attack she had informed the police much earlier and sought their protection, but nothing was done to prevent such ghastly incident’ which was being condemned by all sections of people across the country including the BJP leaders, she said and demanded strong measures by the authorities to ‘prevent such incident once and for all to bring peace and harmony in the country’.
She, however, does not know when her loving granddaughter would come to see her once again in this industrial town in South Bengal. ‘I last met her during the Durga Puja festival’, she recalled.
