Day 6
This day we had to do the campaign throughout the college. After an overall sleepless night we have to rise in the early morning to reach the college. Their we could see the opponents lined up to do whatever we do. There were always one of them wherever we go so as to hook us on our words. And with the exams afternoon which could never be bunked we were tensed also. And there was also a rule not to enter the classroom of juniors which they had done many a times individually. But we had to call them out of the class to have a campaign speech. I think most of the campaigners present there was from our batch and 2003 batch seniors as well as some dayscholars from 2004 batch, who were a bit lazy from the beginning may be because they needed to have a neutral stand since their batchmates were on both sides.
There was a great impact on the junior batches I think so. But since they were always after us they could many a times counter our dialogues. Afterwards we headed to Nursing College, but there was rumour that all the nursing students are gone because of some holiday declared. Ignoring the news we entered the Nursing College with a doubt and fear since it was the Red Fort of SFI. We entered a class and there was waiting all the pro-SFI’s to irritate and make us ashame by their questions. There were frequent questions of what we did to them and that till now only SFI had done something for them. I think we couldnot enter into their mind these things that we too had been with them and we individually didnt have any opportunity to work for them.
The few Nursing Students who had supported us couldnot come in open because of fear and separation. They couldnot even publicly talk to us. But they had talked to us a lot and they wanted us to come to their college.
The others were actually enraging us and moving us to the threshold, so as to start a feud. But we remained calm, but could not gibe answer to all their questions. Later also there was the same response from the nursing college. But in the B.Pharm college we had the open support of some of their students and we could peacefully talk to the students without any interruption. In the case of MLT college, during one of our visit during their Christmas celebration, when we reached we could hear the song Chora Veena Mannil Ninnu…and then we couldnt think of even entering the college.
Later in the afternoon in the 2003MBBS batch we could see a smash and return of words from the batchmates itself. And when one of our candidate was asked what talent he had, after some time of thinking he could answer that it was a brave heart. And some of the girls came in support of him and were sentimental also. The debate was too hot to stop in between, and it continued.
And in the night we opened a control room to sent SMS to concentrate more on 2006 batch who are on their vacations and 2007 batch. In the first step itself we got the news that the SFI are calling the 2006batch saying they have to submit a petition for course lagging, Later they changed the tactics that there is an election for batch rep. and everyone has to vote for the present rep to have a voice in the union, but in reality both were SFI representatives only. They were prepared to battle to any extent.
