He probably expected the usual outcome: pass an arbitrary order, intimidate people, and watch everyone fall silent. But this time, the response was different.
It will take time for people sitting in powerful positions to understand that the public mood has changed after Jantar Mantar. Earlier, people raising genuine concerns were isolated quickly and forced to surrender or suffer quietly.
Now, people are learning to stand together, question authority and demand accountability. That is why public pressure, documentation and collective response matter.
Still, many institutions continue to take such decisions with planning and confidence specially where a common citizen is fighting individually, knowing that even when evidence exists, those at the top rarely step back.
Decriminalised Parliament sounds good in principle. But under the current political culture, the fear is obvious: it may be used selectively to target opposition leaders, opposition parties and independent MPs who are not aligned with the BJP.
We have already seen how institutions, agencies and legal processes can be used to create pressure on dissenting voices, and even to influence MPs/MLAs from other parties.
Before talking about decriminalising Parliament, we need equal application of law, transparency and safeguards against political misuse. Otherwise, even a good reform can become another weapon against the opposition.
The use of that term says a lot about the mindset of power. A Prime Minister should not sound like a troll account while speaking from a constitutional position.
When youth are asking about education, jobs, exams, healthcare and governance, calling people names only shows discomfort with accountability.
The dignity of the office demands better language, better conduct and better answers. Sadly, the country is stuck with this style of leadership, while institutions meant to protect democracy keep avoiding the hard questions.
@PTI_News Ramdev ji's real concern does not seem to be children.
It seems to be the fear that young people are no longer buying government-friendly lectures without asking questions.
It feels embarrassing to even explain how horrible the experience of studying in many government schools still is.
Children are expected to salute the flag, sing the anthem and dream big, while basic things like clean water, usable toilets and safe classrooms are still missing.
This is not just poor infrastructure. This is a failure of responsibility.
@elonmusk Hope it's implemented soon and the decision stays as promised, and not changed on the instruction of a corrupt Government with a dictatorial mindset.
I studied in a government school from Class 1 to 5 in a village like this.
Back then, there was no mid-day meal, no toilet, and no drinking water in the school. We used to go to nearby homes just to drink water.
What is shameful is that decades later, many children are still facing the same conditions. This should have changed long ago.
Do not expect honesty from this government.
It looks like they only wanted to buy time, calm the protest for the moment, and prepare counter-measures so that the movement does not rise again with the same force.
However, the real fear is not student protest. The real fear is students learning how to organise, document, question and make the country listen.
@sardesairajdeep PM CARES was collected for public emergency, but the money seems to be relaxing in FDs.
Question is simple: whose emergency was it actually waiting for? 🙏🇮🇳
The real problem is that ordinary citizens often feel completely helpless before the judicial system.
Whether it is district courts, High Courts or even higher forums, one bad listing, one unexplained delay, one arbitrary adjournment, or one indifferent hearing can destroy a petitioner's hope.
A common person waits for months, sometimes years, believing the next hearing may bring relief. But one bad day in court can shatter everything. Justice should not depend on luck, roster control, political sensitivity, or how much attention a matter receives on a particular day.
For the common citizen, delay itself becomes punishment.

RTI is slowly being reduced to a formality, only 1 out of 20 gets response in 30 days(based on my experience).
I asked NMC to confirm whether a particular healthcare individual has registration with the medical council, their reply was basically: check the website.
But my RTI had clearly stated that the record was not available on the website, and asked them to confirm or deny whether such a record exists.
If public authorities can avoid clear answers by simply redirecting citizens to the same place where the information is missing, then what is the point of RTI?
The only thing getting exposed here is fear.
If the government has actually done good work, it should proudly show the school, the classrooms, the toilets, the drinking water and the facilities.
Why would anyone need violence to hide development?
When citizens go to check the condition of a government school and get attacked, it raises a serious question: Who is really afraid of the truth coming out?
If the police was pre-informed and still absent, that is not just failure. It demands accountability. Development does not need goons, failure does.
This is exactly the problem. An Education Minister should be asking why the school was in such poor condition, not why citizens tried to show it.
Government schools are public institutions, not private property. If children study there, citizens have every right to ask about toilets, drinking water, classrooms and safety. Instead of treating school audits as obstruction, the minister should treat them as public feedback.
Rajasthan does not need leaders who defend broken schools. It needs leaders mature enough to fix them.
@abhisar_sharma@Rhiyahir I don't know how people tolerate this person.
People should simply say "No" when they are invited to such meaningless debates.
He does not sound like a journalist asking questions. He sounds like a party spokesperson shouting at citizens on behalf of the government.
Sahil's case raises a bigger question.
What about families whose FIR is not registered even after losing a loved one? What about cases that never reach journalists, never trend, and never get national attention?
Is there a public mechanism where citizens can submit documented cases and genuine matters that can be escalated to police, state authorities and human-rights bodies?
Justice should not depend on virality.
For an ordinary citizen, getting an FIR registered can take days, sometimes weeks.
And before that, you may have to survive threats, intimidation, pressure to compromise, warnings of false counter-FIRs, and fears about your family, career and safety.
Even after repeatedly visiting the police station, you may not get a receiving copy. And when the FIR is finally registered, many citizens realise that it does not properly reflect the complaint they had submitted.
This is not access to justice. This is a system that exhausts victims before even beginning the process.

Schoolgirls in Ujjain protested a proposed relocation to distant Daudkhedi, raising safety, commute and cost concerns.
Government rarely fixes the basics without public pressure. Speak up. Stand together. Demand answers.

"DM Sir, how do we reach school?"
Schoolgirls in Panchli, Meerut say rain floods their railway underpass, disrupting classes and making the journey unsafe.
Why is there still no permanent drainage solution? Watch. Share. Demand answers.

This video is from Independence Day, 15 August(School in Banda district, UP).
And the government is more focused on Har Ghar Tiranga? Should we really be proud of this?
A flag deserves respect, but so do the children standing under it. Where are the basic facilities in our schools?🙏🇮🇳
