@narendramodi PM Resign! And also Edu minister must resign!

[K C Venugopal @kcvenugopalmp]

PM Modi has cut off internet around Jantar Mantar, which is creating immense panic.

This is a direct assault on freedom of speech, to silence the voice of India’s youth and hide the Delhi Police’s brutalities.

Be warned, Mr. Modi - any untoward step to quash this youth protest will be deeply disastrous and the people will deliver a historic punishment against you.

[Salman Khan @BeingSalmanKhan]

It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.

I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.

This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.

Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.

Even Safdarjung's own Resident Doctors’ Association says Sonam Wangchuk’s detention is absurd & unnecessary. After his illegal, unconstitutional removal from Jantar Mantar, doctors are demanding his right to LAMA and an independent inquiry.

His wife is clear: move him to a private hospital or give him full access, phone & visitors so he can speak directly.

Sonam Wangchuk has been kidnapped. Release the 59-year-old Magsaysay Award-winning Satyagrahi immediately. Let him return to the protest. That’s what he wants. You cannot hold a man against his will.

It is absolutely disgusting. These are young people, and they have a genuine problem. They want a bright future for themselves, and the government is destroying their future.

The Prime Minister is the leader of the country. This is the youth of the nation. This country belongs to them and this Parliament belongs to them. So the least he can do is hear them out, listen to them, call them, understand what the issue is. They are asking rightly for the resignation of the Education Minister.

राहुल गांधी जी लगातार पेपर लीक पर बात कर रहे हैं, लेकिन बार-बार पेपर लीक होने के बावजूद सरकार ने आजतक दोषियों पर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की।

अब ये मुद्दा ज्वलंत इसलिए है, क्योंकि बच्चे अपने भविष्य को लेकर चिंतित हैं। ऊपर से सरकार नौकरी देने में भी फेल है, लेकिन इस समस्या पर कोई ध्यान नहीं दिया जा रहा है।

मोदी सरकार इन मुद्दों पर न बात करती है और न संसद में बात करने देती है। इन युवाओं ने ही हमें चुनकर संसद में भेजा है, इसलिए सरकार को इनकी बात सुननी चाहिए। लेकिन सरकार उनपर लाठीचार्ज कर रही है, आंसू गैस के गोले दाग रही है।

नरेंद्र मोदी युवा विरोधी, गरीब विरोधी, किसान विरोधी हैं। ये हम 12 साल से देख रहे हैं।

एक समय था, जब मंत्री जवाबदेही लेते थे। इसलिए मंत्री ज़िम्मेदारी लें, इस्तीफ़ा दें और अपने सिस्टम को ठीक करें।

शांतिपूर्ण विरोध एक अटूट और मौलिक अधिकार है।

भारत के निर्दोष छात्रों पर हमला करने के आदेशों का आँखें बंद करके पालन करने वाले हर पुलिस अधिकारी और सरकारी कर्मचारी ये बात ध्यान रखें:

संविधान ही आपका मालिक है।
सत्ता हमेशा के लिए नहीं रहती।
जवाबदेही ज़रूर तय की जाएगी।

Peaceful protest is a sacred and fundamental right.

Every police officer and govt official blindly following orders to attack India’s innocent students should keep in mind:

The Constitution is your master.
Power is not permanent.
Accountability will follow.

Statement : IFF condemns the internet shutdown in parts of Central Delhi. No suspension order has been made public.

New Delhi, 20 July 2026

The Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) condemns the suspension of mobile internet services imposed today, 20 July 2026, in parts of Central Delhi, including the area around Jantar Mantar. The shutdown coincided with the 'Chalo Sansad' march called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on the opening day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, where thousands of students and young people had gathered to press their demands. Permission for the march was refused. Prohibitory orders were imposed under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Routes to Parliament were sealed, and metro stations including, Patel Chowk, Rajiv Chowk and Janpath were closed. Amid reports of the use of force to disperse protesters, mobile internet was then switched off, reportedly "as a precautionary measure". We urge the immediate restoration of all telecommunication services in the capital and an end to internet shutdowns across India.

The developments of today are of immense consequence to the future of our democracy. The voices gathered at Jantar Mantar, and the residents of the national capital, need to be heard the loudest, not silenced en masse.

No order has been made public

At the time of release of this statement, no copy of any suspension order has been published by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Department of Telecommunications, the Government of NCT of Delhi or the Delhi Police. Residents of the capital do not know which authority directed the shutdown, on what grounds, over which precise areas, for which services, or for what duration. An unpublished order is an unaccountable order. It cannot be challenged before a court, and the judicial review guaranteed by the Supreme Court becomes illusory. Some reports further indicate the deployment of network jammers in parts of Central Delhi, including near Jantar Mantar. Jamming equipment finds no sanction in the legal framework for the suspension of telecommunication services at all. If jammers were deployed, the government must disclose under what legal authority.

Binding safeguards violated

On 10 January 2020, the Supreme Court in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India, (2020) 3 SCC 637 held that the freedom of speech and expression, and the freedom to carry on trade or business through the medium of the internet, are protected under Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court directed that every order suspending telecom services must be published. Reasons must be recorded in writing. The restriction must be proportionate, adopting the least restrictive measure available. It cannot continue indefinitely. It is subject to judicial review, and to scrutiny by a review committee.

Parliament has since replaced the framework of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885. Under Section 20(2)(b) of the Telecommunications Act, 2023, telecommunication services may be suspended only on the occurrence of a public emergency or in the interest of public safety, on the grounds specified in that provision, and for reasons recorded in writing. The Telecommunications (Temporary Suspension of Services) Rules, 2024, notified on 22 November 2024, give effect to this power. A suspension order may be issued only by the Union Home Secretary or the State Home Secretary. An officer not below the rank of Joint Secretary may act in unavoidable circumstances, subject to confirmation by the competent authority within twenty four hours. Every order must clearly define the geographical area and the specific services suspended, and cannot remain in operation beyond fifteen days. Every order must also be published. A Review Committee must meet within five days of the order and record its findings on whether it complies with Section 20(2).

These safeguards are not being followed

If we account for today's shutdown against this legal architecture. The order is unpublished, in breach of Anuradha Bhasin and the Suspension Rules, 2024 alike. No recorded reasons are available to the public despite little to no reports of violence and consistent calls for the protest to be peaceful by the CJP and other organisers. The precise areas and services covered are undisclosed and so is the duration. Whether the competent authority even issued the order cannot be known. Whether the Review Committee will examine it cannot be verified. While the Suspension Rules prescribe no outer time limit for publication, a gap we have previously flagged, it cannot cut against the spirit of the Anuradha Bhasin judgement. A blanket suspension across densely populated parts of the capital, imposed as a "precaution" against a march to Parliament, is the opposite of a narrowly tailored, least restrictive measure. A shutdown timed to a protest restricts the freedoms of speech and assembly at the very moment they matter most.

The human cost of a shutdown

Access to the internet is a digital right on which the exercise of our fundamental freedoms now depends. When the network goes dark in Central Delhi, a journalist at Jantar Mantar cannot file her report or broadcast live. A street vendor on the surrounding roads cannot accept a UPI payment. A gig worker loses a day's earnings. A parent cannot confirm that a child who joined the march is safe. Cutting off communications prevents people from reaching out for help and manufactures panic in a moment which demands calm. These costs fall hardest on daily wage earners and small traders who can least absorb them. Internet based communications also promote trust between people and their government.

A pattern, not an aberration

Delhi has seen this before. On 19 December 2019, mobile services were suspended for the first time in the capital's history during the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, in areas including Seelampur, Jamia Nagar and Mandi House. On 26 January 2021, the Ministry of Home Affairs suspended internet services in Singhu, Ghazipur, Tikri, Mukarba Chowk, Nangloi and their adjoining areas during the farmers' protests. According to the #KeepItOn coalition's report released in March 2026, India recorded 65 internet shutdowns in 2025, the highest of any democracy in the world, and accounts for 920 of the 2,102 shutdowns documented globally since 2016. We have consistently advocated against the harm these disruptions cause, from Jammu and Kashmir to Rajasthan, and from Haryana to Manipur, where a shutdown in 2023 ran for over two hundred days. The orders are rarely published on time, and the findings of review committees never see daylight.

Our demands

We call upon the Government of India and the Government of NCT of Delhi to:

1. Immediately restore all suspended telecommunication and internet services in Central Delhi.
2. Publish forthwith every suspension order passed on or around 20 July 2026, together with the reasons recorded in writing, as mandated by Anuradha Bhasin and the Telecommunications (Temporary Suspension of Services) Rules, 2024.
3. Disclose the issuing authority, the grounds, the precise areas and services covered, and the period of operation, and clarify whether network jammers were deployed and under what legal authority.
4. Place the order before the Review Committee within five days as required by the Rules, and make its findings public.
5. Reform Section 20(2)(b) of the Telecommunications Act, 2023 to provide for independent prior authorisation and real consequences for unlawful suspensions.

IFF will file applications under the Right to Information Act, 2005 seeking copies of the suspension orders and the records of the Review Committee, and is examining further legal remedies.

Delhi and all of India deserve better.

PEACEFUL MARCH TO THE PARLIAMENT, 20th JULY
Thanks for all your messages to break my Hunger Strike, but that wouldn't help the 20 students who committed suicide nor will that help protect the mountains of Ladakh or the rivers of India. If you really want to help then do a little more than messages from comfy couches, then come to Delhi & to Jantar Mantar on 20th July, when the Monsoon session of Indian Parliament starts. Together we'll start a very Peaceful March to the Sansad and appeal to our honorable MPs to take the issue up and find a lasting solution...
