If you are at the protest in Delhi or Mumbai and you have been watching social media reels, you will notice that the villain is no longer Dharmendra Pradhan. The name being taken by every student in parody songs, memes and effigies being burnt is Narendra Modi.
Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has spoken out publicly for the first time since he was arrested during protests in New Delhi, voicing support for student demonstrators who are demanding the resignation of the education minister.
So @DelhiPolice can you come clean on Honey Dagar? Who is he? Where does he live? How was he beating up our kids alongside uniformed cops yesterday. Let’s track this man down I say.
I strongly condemn the high-handedness of the police against CJP youth who were peacefully participating in a rally over the NEET discrepancies.
The visuals from Delhi are shocking.
Instead of addressing their concerns, the government is responding with its police force. This is unacceptable in a democracy.
For more than a decade now, DMK has been advocating abolition of NEET.
Today, Tamil Nadu's voice against NEET is resonating across the nation, including from the national capital.
The demand of the Nation's Youth is clear. Listen to them.
#BanNEET
We stand in solidarity with the youth of our country.
Their voices deserve to be heard — loud, clear, and without fear. They are the heartbeat of our democracy and the true architects of our nation’s future.
Let us listen, support, and empower them. The energy, courage, and dreams of our young people will shape the India we aspire to build.
Jai Hind.

Met the Hon’ble Lok Sabha Speaker today along with MPs of the Opposition.
Our demand is simple: Parliament must have a detailed discussion on the brutality unleashed on students yesterday and on the government’s complete lack of accountability for the examination crisis.
Students were beaten for asking legitimate questions about their own future.
If Parliament cannot discuss the future of India’s youth, what is it for?
The Opposition will not let this be buried. We will ensure that the students’ voice will be heard on the streets, and in Parliament.
The core tenets of the Modi government are Asatya and Hinsa.
The removal of Sonam Wangchuk ji from Jantar Mantar while he was on a non-violent hunger strike is wrong.
Paper leaks, the rising cost of education, and student suicides are critical issues for India’s future.
No amount of force can deter India’s students, and those of us who love and believe in them, from raising these issues.

This moving article on @UmarKhalidJNU in prison prompts a simple question: if he really has incited terrorism, why not prove it in a court of law? Why deny him the basic right of any Indian citizen accused of a crime, the right to a fair trial? Languishing six years behind bars, without a chance to defend himself legally, is a travesty of justice and a blot on our democracy. I think the people of India have a right to know why.
And what he says from prison is sad to read:
