Campus Front of India

Protests

Anti-CAA protests

The CFI actively took part in the Anti-CAA agitations across the country. Approximately thirty-eight members of Campus Front of Indians were arrested for organizing Collectors Gate Road blockade in Mangaluru on seventeenth of December 2019. The protest was held to condemn the alleged police action against the students of Jamia Millia Islamia and AMU who protested against the new Citizenship Amendment Act. On February twenty-seventh 2020, fifty members were arrested for staging a Rajbhavan march in Bengaluru while protesting against the violence that took place in Northeast Delhi.

Hijab protests

The organization held protests against the CBSE-conducted All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT), for including the hijab and burqa in its list of restricted items in the examination halls. The AIPMT restricted head-coverings to discourage unfair practices during the examinations in 2015.

Earlier in 2022, the CFI allegedly encouraged six Muslim students at the Government PU College for Girls in Udupi to take a stand on the right to wear the hijab in the college premises.

The college previously restricted hijab as being incompatible with its uniform and dress code. The protest led to a huge row in the state of Karnataka, with rival groups of Hindu and Muslim students protesting against each other, and a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court. The lawyer representing the college characterized the CFI in the High Court as the chief instigator of the dispute and a "rank radical organization". The CFI met with the college authorities and the deputy director for pre-university education demanding that they should allow girls to wear hijab to attend classes.

Raising issues related to Campus/Schools

CFI held protests against the four year undergraduate program (FYUP), proposed at the Delhi University. On the 20th of June 2013, it organized a signature campaign in over 100 colleges of twenty universities in many parts of India.

After about two years of establishment of the lock-down, CFI along with other student organizations of Jamia Millia Islamia have demanded reopening of the campus at the earliest opportunity.

Against crime on campus

CFI protested against the Mangalore One School Management for inaction after a four-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by a cab driver. It extended its support to Justice for Baby Nirbhaya Forum by the United Muslim Organization and participated in Silent Candle Light at Mangalore.

On November 9, 2019, Fathima Latheef, a nineteen year old first-year undergraduate student of Indian Institute of Technology Madras died by suicide in her hostel room in Chennai, allegedly due to the humiliation and religious discrimination she was facing from faculty members. CFI staged a protest outside IIT-Madras demanding that those responsible for her death must be punished.

Human Rights

CFI Dakshina Kannada unit demanded that the Deputy Commissioner handed over the Soujanya rape and murder case to the CBI in a protest held in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office in Mangalore.

CFI on behalf of its Save Rohingya campaign organized a march to the Myanmar embassy protesting against the Myanmar government's atrocities against Rohingya people.
