1000s of students got first aid, shelter, and a place to wash up at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib since last evening.
Langar and tea haven’t stopped once.
The house of Guru Nanak opened its doors again- Rakab Ganj Sahib and gurdwaras across Delhi did the same.
Met the Hon’ble Lok Sabha Speaker today along with MPs of the Opposition.
Our demand is simple: Parliament must have a detailed discussion on the brutality unleashed on students yesterday and on the government’s complete lack of accountability for the examination crisis.
Students were beaten for asking legitimate questions about their own future.
If Parliament cannot discuss the future of India’s youth, what is it for?
The Opposition will not let this be buried. We will ensure that the students’ voice will be heard on the streets, and in Parliament.
Local context -- The BJP has served the Indian people poorly for years, and people are fighting back.
Regional context -- South Asia has seen numerous Gen Z revolutions in recent years.
Global context -- Right-wing extremism often breeds discontent.

Delhi shut down its own metro stations today to stop students from reaching a protest about exam fairness.
Let that sit for a second. The capital paralyzed itself to keep kids away from Parliament.
That’s not security. That’s fear of a crowd asking a fair question.
A student was injured during the police action at the protest in Jantar Mantar.
He alleges that despite the demonstration being peaceful, the police lathi-charged protesters and slapped them.
प्रधानमंत्री मोदी भारत के इतिहास के सबसे युवा-विरोधी प्रधानमंत्री हैं - इतने युवा विरोधी कि एक नाकाम शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा भी नहीं ले सकते।
152 पेपर लीक। 7.5 करोड़ छात्र पीड़ित। और सज़ा एक दोषी को भी नहीं। सजा किसे मिली? मेहनती युवाओं को।
और जब इन बच्चों ने शिक्षा के जायज़ सवाल उठाए - तो जवाब में मिली लाठी और हिरासत। लीक करने वाले अपराधी आज़ाद - और वाजिब मुद्दे उठाने वाले छात्र घसीटे जाते हैं, पीटे जाते हैं।
यह सरकार सिर्फ़ युवाओं को नाकाम नहीं कर रही - उनपर टूट पड़ी है।

HEARTBREAKING VISUALS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL 💔
Just look at how brutally the Delhi Police are dealing with the protesters
A peaceful protest has been turned into a violent confrontation
GODI MEDIA WILL NEVER SHOW YOU THIS
A sixteen year old protester, Karan, breaks down after being lathi charged by Delhi police.
The reporter says, He was shaking. He said he's not crying because of the pain but because he's in shock and disbelief.
"Mere upar lathi charge hua, I can't understand ke meri galti kya hai, meri galti yahi hai ki Mai desh ka bhala chahta hun aur isi liye mujhe dande maare ja raha hain. This is not fair at all...."
