Punjab students are demanding the resignation of the Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh.
The students are saying that Manish Sisodia had said at Jantar Mantar that if there was ever a paper leak in Punjab, he and Arvind Kejriwal would remove the Punjab Education Minister.
दंगलखोर विद्यार्थ्यांना पोलीसांना आता हाॅस्टेलमध्ये घुसून उचलायला सुरुवात केली आहे.
आंदोलन संपले. आता कोणताही राजकीय पक्ष या अटक झालेल्या विद्यार्थ्यांच्या मदतीसाठी येणार नाही.
विद्यार्थ्यांनी त्यांच्या हाताने त्यांचे आयुष्य बरबाद केले आहे.
Govt has assured to Spare peaceful protesters.
But those who indulged in violence or damaged properties won’t be spared. They will be smoked out from their hidings.
He's Mohit, an Assistant Professor at a degree college in UP.
Instead of teaching, he was at Jantar Mantar protesting and hurling abuses at PM Modi.
The moment he returned to UP, he was handed his termination letter.
Well done. If you're paid to teach, then teach. Political activism cannot come at the cost of professional responsibilities.
Hope DU and JNU professors who do everything except teaching also face similar consequences.
Let me also reply to you publicly then, for the sake of making you understand the difference.
I was one of the earliest people who said the minster should resign! To take moral responsibility of the disastrous paper leaks! But if the PM, who is a known task master with his ministers, in his position and wisdom, thinks that is not required, I am willing to take his word for it for these reasons:
1) The minster is not directly involved with the paper leaks, it was the educators themselves who leaked it! So his exit would not really change anything, but would just be symbolic.
2) Paper leaks have happened in 2 other states ruled by Congress and AAP, there has been no mention of the ministers resigning there! India has had a history of paper leaks for decades! Why is only this govt being held at gunpoint, and that too by a dubious internet creation called CJP!
3) Setting a precedent that a govt can be held hostage by mobs on the streets is a wet dream of anti India forces that I will not be party to.
It’s true that democracy gives you the right to protest, but it also gives the PM the right to choose who continues in his cabinet and who doesn’t.
Don’t know about Rang De Basanti, but let me tell you what some of us millennials actually grew up watching.
I was in primary school during the 1993 Mumbai bombings -- too young to even understand what terrorism meant. But I distinctly remember my mom repeatedly warning me not to pick up anything lying around while playing outside because, you know, it could be a bomb.
That was childhood.
Then came the seemingly endless procession of attacks: the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Red Fort in 2000, Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai bus bombings and Akshardham in 2002, three separate blasts within eight months in Mumbai in 2003, the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2007 Hyderabad bombings, and the 2008 Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts.
In July 2006, I was supposed to be on one of the trains that was bombed near Mahim. I stayed back at the office because of a meeting. A completely mundane change of plans is probably the reason I’m alive to type this instead of being a name on a list of the dead.
I remember that evening far better than I remember any stupid movie. Our office went into lockdown. Phones were jammed. People were crying and frantically trying to reach their families. Nobody knew what was happening, whether there were more bombs, or whether someone they loved was lying dead inside a mangled train compartment.
Two years later came 26/11.
I had the misfortune of watching uncensored footage of the aftermath. One clip showed bodies being piled and stacked inside a makeshift room at CST while someone wheeled in another load on a bloodied wheelbarrow, with blood dripping onto the floor. The sanitised footage shown on television didn't come remotely close to what actually happened inside that station.
So yes, us millennials lived through an era where we went to work knowing that the crime of simply boarding the wrong train, getting on the wrong bus, eating at the wrong restaurant, or standing on the wrong street at the wrong fucking moment could get you blown to pieces or riddled with bullets.
Some of us literally went to work wondering, somewhere at the back of our minds, whether this would be the commute we wouldn't come home from.
So please, spare us millennials this sanctimonious horseshit about Rang De Basanti and what some Bollywood movie supposedly should have taught us about how to vote.
Who leaked the paper? Some teachers.
Who bought the leaked paper? Some common people for their selfish gains.
Those who leaked the paper are in jail, and the re-exam has been conducted.
FM @nsitharaman clearly exposes the hypocrisy behind this entire protest.
The PM himself is taking measures for the students and their future.
The government is willing to have every kind of discussion.
Yet Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Akhilesh Yadav are disrupting Parliament and instigating the students. FM Nirmala Sitharaman rightly slams these disruptors.
Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth!
We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks. Have directed the concerned authorities and officials to take all necessary steps in this regard. This continues our series of steps for safeguarding the interests of students.
Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared.
देश के युवाओं का हित और उनका भविष्य हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है।
पेपर लीक के सभी मामलों में दोषियों को जल्द से जल्द कठोर दंड देने के लिए, केस के त्वरित निस्तारण के लिए फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट्स का गठन किया जाएगा। इस संबंध में निर्देश दे दिए गए हैं कि संबंधित विभाग आवश्यक कार्रवाई सुनिश्चित करें।
विद्यार्थियों के हितों को सुरक्षित करने के लिए, सरकार द्वारा लिए जा रहे निर्णयों की श्रृंखला में ये एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है।
युवाओं के भविष्य के साथ खिलवाड़ करने वाले किसी भी व्यक्ति को बख्शा नहीं जाएगा।
13 people have already been held accountable and arrested in connection with the NEET paper leak. A re-exam was conducted. Students appeared for it. The winners have been declared and are now waiting for admissions.
So what’s all this fuss about? “Dharmendra Pradhan should resign.”
Will it stop there? No. Next, they’ll demand that Home Minister Amit Shah resign, followed by Prime Minister Modi. Eventually, the target is regime change.
But why now? Because the Indian Parliament’s Monsoon Session is prioritizing the Foreign Funding Regulation Bill, which has upset certain NGOs and their middlemen.
If you can’t understand the complexities of geopolitics, at least don’t become a pawn in someone else’s game.
