Celebrities giving their statements:
Education is very good. Students also very important. Exams are crucial. Youth is country’s future. I can relate, I was also youth & did college. Govt also good. Everybody great. Have dialogue. Just sort it out fast & go watch my movie soon.
Democracy in India is happening right now! The Leader of India’s Opposition is being dragged by Narendra Modi’s cops away from a peaceful sit-in protest. Delhi is under siege by Modi’s police.
#WATCH | Delhi | Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, "... If the Leader of the Opposition wishes to speak in Parliament, he is not allowed to do so. If we seek permission to stage a protest, that permission is denied. So we went to a place where they least expected us."
Police have arrested Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi during a sit-in outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence as student-led "Cockroach" protests against the government continue despite a crackdown.

The forceful detention of @RahulGandhi, @Priyanka Gandhi, @yadavakhilesh and other Opposition leaders during their protest is a severe affront to our democracy. Physical aggression against a peaceful protest is completely unjustifiable. An accountable government listens to dissent; it does not silence it through police action. This is not the India our Constitution envisages! We must never allow this appalling conduct to become the new normal.
Rahul Gandhi today exhibited a degree of personal physical courage that will forever be beyond the comprehension of Narendra Modi, a man too frightened to take an unscripted question.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Cockroach Janta Party has not given a call to assemble anywhere but at Jantar Mantar, where our peaceful protest is on.
We received reports that some goons may have been sent to other parts of Delhi to create nuisance. They are NOT with CJP.
