North Campus co-ed colleges can't screen 'unsafe' movies till DUSU elections end?

Issues related to screening filmsdocumentaries during the DUSU elections are a given at all co-ed colleges. However, all-girls colleges don't face the same restrictions.
The ruckus over the content of a documentary that was recently 'half-screened' at KMC, and the idea that security issues can always be expected around DUSU elections, might have made it hard for film societies at co-ed colleges on North Campus to freely screen what they want.That is at least what some campus insiders are saying.
Montage, the film society of Kirori Mal College, had recently organized a screening of Nakul Sawhney's Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai. However, ABVP members stopped the screening midway, saying that a student had called them with the complaint that a film which shows the Jat community in an unflattering light is being shown to students. Rumours said that a panel of six people two from Montage, two from the KMC administration and two from DUSU would watch the movie and decide whether or not it's fit to be screened on campus, and that DUSU will have a say in what movies are screened on campus in the future. Responding to these rumours, Dinesh Khattar, the acting principal, told us a week after the incident, "We are going to have a meeting about the screening after the student elections. The meeting is going to be only between college authorities and the students, not with DUSU members. It's a sensitive issue and we wouldn't want to bring it up at the time of elections."
However, a professor associated with the society in question says, "During elections we are not allowed to screen any movies whatsoever in the seminar room. So, our meetings are restricted to theoretical discussions. It has become very restrictive all of a sudden."
A student from the dramatics society of Ramjas College adds, "Election time is particularly tricky for co-ed colleges on campus there's a higher chance of violence here. Even we have some movies lined up for screening including Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai but we don't see it happening before the elections end. Not with the official nod anyway.Since some of our teachers are cool, we might watch the movies some where secretly."
At two other co-ed colleges, there's no explicit or implicit restriction on movie screenings, but the films being screened are chosen keeping in mind the upcoming elections. Vignesh Singh, a member of the film society at Hindu College, says, "There's no such restriction at Hindu. We recently screened a movie in the college auditorium, with the authorities' permission. But then the movie was the kind that wouldn't anger any groups, and security was also beefed up during the screening."
The societies have an unsaid but accepted understanding about the type of movies that are 'safe' to be screened in this scenario. A member of the students' union at Hans Raj College says, "It just depends on the kind of movie being screened. Most college film societies would be prudent enough to go with a harmless foreign film around election time, more so after the recent scene at KMC."
SRCC, however, seems to be unaffected by this. Dr Abhay Kumar, assistant professor at the college, says, "SRCC has always maintained a distance from DUSU elections, and that's probably why this is not an issue at our college. Here, only college elections happen in an elaborate manner. DUSU candidates are not even allowed to enter the premises."
Election-time violence is less of an issue inside all-girls colleges, as entry is more restricted there and DUSU interference is less, say students. So, movie screening rules don't change because of elections. Konpal, a member of the dramsoc at Miranda House, explains, "Our college has not been affected by this development. It's different for all-girls' colleges, anyway. Entry rules are so strict. Nobody can just enter the college and create chaos about a film screening or anything of the sort."
Soumya Gupta, LSR's dramsoc president, adds, "Our college is not even a part of DUSU. And we have already screened Muzzafarnagar Baaqi Hai here. But it's not like there's no censorship here. The teachers watch everything we plan to screen and if something seems potentially offensive, it's scrapped."
