In 1997, Dharmendra Pradhan โ then ABVP National Secretary โ was beaten by police while protesting a paper leak in Odisha. ~1,500 students joined the peaceful protest against the state govt; he suffered fractures.
Today he's India's Education Minister.
The irony writes itself.
Iโm neither a BJP supporter nor a Congress supporter. But what is happening to the students is completely wrong.
The students who came forward with genuine issues should not have been subjected to violence. Their concerns deserve to be heard, and appropriate action should be taken.
