This is utterly appalling. Even in the days of the JP Movement leading up to the Emergency, there was no bar by the @UnivofDelhi on students joining any of his protests, and a couple of members of my Union Cabinet at St Stephen’s, including the late Chandan Mitra, openly did so.
If one of India’s foremost public universities is allowed to threaten its students and faculty with significant consequences if they attend a protest, it has a chilling effect on democratic speech and expression. Most DU students are not so privileged as to ignore such a sternly-worded warning without fearing that their academic or professional prospects might suffer if they attended the protest.
A university is meant to teach critical thinking and independent assessment of issues, not to stifle these very qualities. Shame on those at the @UnivofDelhi who saw fit to issue such a tweet. They are unworthy of holding any position at an institution of higher learning in a democracy.
20 जुलाई को दिल्ली में शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन कर रहे 19 साल के साहिल के चेहरे पर दिल्ली पुलिस ने पेलेट गन से हमला किया।
साहिल दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय का छात्र है मगर परिवार को सहारा देने के लिए वो पार्ट-टाइम कार भी चलाता है। वो खुद 2025 के SSC दिल्ली कॉन्स्टेबल पेपर लीक का शिकार है। अब उसे डर है कि SSC ने फिर से उसी एजेंसी को ठेका दिया है और फिर से पेपर लीक हो जाएगा।
इंसाफ़ और बेहतर भविष्य की मांग के साथ वह प्रदर्शन में शामिल हुआ था। आज हालत ये है कि उसकी एक आंख की रोशनी हमेशा के लिए जाने का खतरा है।
ये सज़ा मिलती है हमारे छात्रों को सवाल पूछने और जवाबदेही मांगने की।
हम साहिल के साथ हैं। हम जवाबदेही मांग रहे हर छात्र के साथ हैं।
मोदी जी, देश के बच्चों से अपने इस गुनाह की माफ़ी मांगिए, इसके दोषियों पर कड़ी कार्रवाई कीजिए और धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को तुरंत बर्खास्त कीजिए।
“Dharmendra Pradhan is a criminal Education Minister.
He is a symbol of the collapse of our Education system.
He is the reason my brother has got shot.
He is the reason thousands of people are outside.
He has to go.” : Shri @RahulGandhi
So Delhi Police is now snatching food ordered for protestors
On which ground are they doing this?
Which law prohibits food from being delivered to any person?
Are we living in North Korea, How can law enforcement be this shameless?
हैलमेट में अपना चेहरा छिपाए दिल्ली पुलिस का ये जवान एक लड़की के माथे पर वार कर रहा है . पुलिस वालों ने सारी सीमाएं तोड़ दी .
पुलिस की ये लाठियां सरकार को भारी पड़ेगी .
@CPDelhi@DCPNewDelhi@DelhiPolice वर्दी वाले इन अपराधियों के खिलाफ कब कार्रवाई होगी ?
A female student alleges that police called her a “prostitute,” threatened to strip and beat her inside a police station and assaulted her so severely that her ear started bleeding.
Where are the Women’s Commission and Human Rights Commission? Will they act, or remain silent ?
Dear @narendramodi ji,
Forget the slogans of #ViksitBharat and #AmritKaal for a moment.
What about today? What about the fear, frustration and uncertainty confronting India’s students right now?
How can you build the future of Bharat while ignoring the very students who will build it?
When will you hold a real #ParikshaPeCharcha on the NEET paper leak and answer who is responsible?

MP Renuka Confronts Dharmendor Pradhon Over Students Protest 💥🔥
Just look at those shameless monsters ,, They Don't give a FK about what's happening in the country 😑😑
A child being slapped during a protest has shocked the nation 😑😑💥💥
Now there are claims that efforts are being made to remove videos of the incident instead of answering the questions they raise
Look at the smiles on the faces of these two delhi police molesters after hitting a female student on her buttocks with sticks.
I'm sure even the women in their own families wouldn't feel safe around them.
To see students being lathi-charged for demanding accountability from the Education Minister of India was gut-wrenching. Respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, why do you insist on retaining Dharmendra Pradhan ? What is the reason for your unshakeable faith in Dharmendra Pradhan as Education Minister ?
Dear National Media,
You failed to cover the voice of the millions of students in India. Your children and grandchildren will not forgive you. Today may be other children, tomorrow will be your children. The World is watching! 💔😢🙏
@sardesairajdeep@RahulGandhi@Wangchuk66 So as a journalist you are not seeing any responsibility to report or debate on this issue. You are just a commentator on how others are fighting it out. Are you not ashamed?
