Baramasa Editor & senior journalist Rahul Kotiyal was also beaten with lathis while covering yesterday's Jantar Mantar student protest. He's severely injured. It's extremely sad & alarming that a 2-time Ramnath Goenka Awardee was thrashed by police for doing his job.
दिल्ली के बदरपुर मेट्रो स्टेशन पर जंतर-मंतर जा रहे छात्रों को CISF ने गैर-कानूनी तरीके से रोक दिया। सिर्फ हाथों में पोस्टर होने की वजह से उन्हें यात्रा करने से मना कर दिया गया। अपनी आवाज़ उठाना और शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन करना हर नागरिक का संवैधानिक अधिकार है, लेकिन इस तरह रोकना सीधे तौर पर अभिव्यक्ति की आज़ादी पर हमला और सरेआम तानाशाही है।
We stand in solidarity with the youth of our country.
Their voices deserve to be heard — loud, clear, and without fear. They are the heartbeat of our democracy and the true architects of our nation’s future.
Let us listen, support, and empower them. The energy, courage, and dreams of our young people will shape the India we aspire to build.
Jai Hind.

SAMDISH SHOWS HOW POLICE BRUTALITY CRUSHED DISSENT 🚨
Students came to Jantar Mantar asking questions on education, paper leaks and accountability. What followed was pure police brutality.
A woman was beaten by male officers. Students were pushed, chased and hit. Samdish himself took lathis while recording what was happening.
Even after being hit, he kept saying: this is not about media privilege. No citizen should be beaten like this in their own city.
This was the state crushing dissent in full public view.
Jantar Mantar became the place where students asked for dialogue and power answered with lathis.
