Dharmendra Pradhan Must Resign!

How dare you threaten students for exercising their democratic rights?

Please note, you are the ones that will be held accountable when the time comes.

#Imp: Three young boys have been detained by the @DelhiPolice at Nizamuddin Police Station for carrying food to Jantar Mantar. Yes, you read that right!

Several reports of young kids being detained for no reason. Central Delhi being cordoned off. Why is the new @CPDelhi cracking down like he is serving in North Korea?

Please remember you are officers. Not goons of the government. People will not tolerate this. Stop terrorising young kids RIGHT NOW!

The government is rewarding corruption instead of ensuring accountability!

Last night, the Education Secretary was transferred. He was replaced by an IAS officer from the Animal Husbandry Department who has severe multi-crore corruption charges against him.

The entire crisis around paper leaks and NEET was about systemic corruption. Replacing one bureaucrat with another facing serious corruption allegations is a direct INSULT to young people across India.

Is this the "compromise" the government expects us to accept? This is not accountability. We will not stop until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns ✊

First, reveal Prime Minister’s degree.

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.

BJP's paid PR campaign has started.

First, NDTV interviewed the 'NEET topper' where the kid said he'd rather study than join the protest.

Now PR agencies are approaching influencers to make videos praising the govt and opposing the protest.

ज़ुल्म जब भी हद से आगे बढ़ने लगता है,
वहीं से बदलाव का सूरज निकलने लगता है।

आज जंतर-मंतर पर बच्चों और बच्चियों के साथ जिस प्रकार का बर्बरतापूर्ण व्यवहार किया गया, उसने मन को गहराई तक झकझोर दिया। मैंने जलियांवाला बाग का वह दौर नहीं देखा, लेकिन आज जो दृश्य सामने आए, उन्होंने इतिहास के उस काले अध्याय की याद अवश्य दिला दी।

लोकतंत्र में अपनी बात शांतिपूर्ण ढंग से रखना हर नागरिक का संवैधानिक अधिकार है। यदि उस अधिकार का उत्तर बल प्रयोग से दिया जाए, तो यह केवल कुछ लोगों पर नहीं, बल्कि लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों पर भी आघात है।

इसी पीड़ा और लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों की रक्षा के संकल्प के साथ, आज से मैं संसद भवन परिसर में परम पूज्य बाबा साहेब की प्रतिमा के नीचे धरने पर बैठ रहा हूँ। जब तक न्याय सुनिश्चित नहीं होता और इस घटना के लिए जिम्मेदार लोगों के विरुद्ध उचित कार्रवाई नहीं होती, मेरा यह शांतिपूर्ण लोकतांत्रिक संघर्ष जारी रहेगा।

This news needs to be savored as much as the electoral trouncing of the BJP. Were we to understand fascism as a state of siege in capitalist society, then the fightback to liberate ourselves from fascism must also involve sustained struggles against the crony capitalist sharks
