The same people who mocked the reporter are now apologizing to him... this is the best thing about this generation that they realize their mistakes quickly and own up to them. So happy to see him smiling again.
मोदी जी, अपने "फ्रैंड" को एक मंत्रालय से हटाकर दूसरे में बैठाकर बचाने की आपकी साज़िश देश के छात्रों और भारत की जनता को मंज़ूर नहीं।
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान भ्रष्टाचार और देश की education system की बर्बादी के चिन्ह और अनेक छात्रों की मौतों के ज़िम्मेदार हैं।
उन्हें अब किसी और की ज़िंदगी उजाड़ने नहीं देंगे। धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को कैबिनेट से जाना ही पड़ेगा - ये non-negotiable demand है।
LoP Shri @RahulGandhi met Sahil, a student injured in police pellet firing during the protest on 20th July.
It is unacceptable that students are being attacked for raising legitimate concerns and holding the government accountable.
WE STAND WITH OUR STUDENTS.
WE STAND WITH THEIR DEMANDS
Supreme Court lawyers gather for a recitation of the Preamble to the Constitution at the Supreme Court lawns today under the banner, "Save Democracy, Save Constitution”.
the protest is just getting bigger and bigger every single day. more protesters showed up tonight compared to the night of 20th july. undoubtedly, what started as an internet satire has grown into something that is influencing indian politics and the vote bank of the current government.
and yes, accept it or not, abhijeet dipke deserves appreciation. against all odds, with limited resources, no giant political machinery behind him and very little experience in leading something of this scale, he somehow managed to bring it this far after all ups & downs.
yesterday, something happened.
the fear among youth disappeared.
it disappeared from the hearts of protesters. it disappeared from the hearts of people who once whispered their political opinions instead of speaking them. it disappeared from those who hesitated before saying publicly that they did not support the bjp or its ideology.
for years, fear was carefully cultivated. fear of questioning. fear of speaking. fear of being labelled. fear of standing alone.
yesterday, thousands quietly buried that fear amidst the chaos. even as people ran to escape lathi charges, even as panic replaced slogans for a few moments, something irreversible had already happened in that very moment.
the youth has realised they do not need a saviour when the people claiming to save the nation refuse to listen to its youth. democracies do not survive because leaders are powerful. they survive because ordinary people refuse to surrender their voice.
and yesterday, on those rain-soaked roads, thousands chose not to surrender.
they stood, they marched, they raised their voices, and even when fear, exhaustion, and chaos surrounded them, many refused to let hope die because democracy is not kept alive by the walls of parliament alone.
it is kept alive every time ordinary citizens refuse to believe that their voice no longer matters.
maybe yesterday did not change the government.
maybe it did not change the system.
but for many, it changed something just as important that is the belief that they still have the power to shape the future.
and every lasting change begins with people believing that their voice is worth raising, even when it feels like no one is listening…
jai hind, jai bharat 🇮🇳
India's youth-led ‘cockroach’ movement said it would continue its protest demanding the resignation of the education minister on July 21, a day after violent protests disrupted central Delhi, injuring scores of protesters and police personnel https://t.co/fKnTwKSUdQ
16-YEAR-OLD GIRLS TEAR THROUGH GOVT’S “ANTI-NATIONAL” SCRIPT 🔥
REPORTER: What happened here?
KANIKA 😡: We were marching peacefully. Police pushed us, hit us, tore clothes and hurt students. Is this why they have power?
REPORTER: Why did you come?
ANSHIKA 🔥: We skipped school because we care about our future. If fighting for education is wrong, then what is right?
REPORTER: What is your message?
RIYA 🎯: We are 12th-class students. If we stay silent today, this broken system will become our tomorrow. We want education, safety and accountability.
THE MOMENT: These girls did more damage to the “anti-national” narrative than any speech could. They came with school bags and left power exposed.
Thousands of protesters are gathering in the Indian capital, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his education minister.
It follows back-to-back scandals related to examination paper leaks and cancelled tests.
Journalist Neha Poonia reports.
Dear students of India, after all this settles down, please ask accountability from your parents too. They are the ones who chose and will again choose this poisonous govt. Revolution must start from home.
जब व्यवस्था शिक्षा न दे, अर्थव्यवस्था रोज़गार न दे और राजनीति जवाब न दे, तब आंदोलन व्यवस्था के विरुद्ध ही होता है।
20 जुलाई का संसद मार्च जारी है!
