Here is the full video of Harsh Yadav.
CJP has declared only few slogans will be used at the protest - Jai Bhim, Bharat Mata ki Jai, Inquilab Zindabad
When Harsh asked Ranka what Inquilab (Revolution)is he talking about, Ranka had him thrown out.
This is CJP autocracy for you!
@GhoshSamyak Good to see there were still all kinds of slogans- Azaadi, against Modi/RSS. Hoping that CJP fades slowly or it adapts. It is a peoples movement.
Every single time I see “look at these kids, do they look anti-national to you” posts, I have to ask, did you think the kids at Jamia & JNU looked anti national in 2019? What about those of us who were protesting against a terrible bill that affected Indian citizenship?
lal salaam, comrades! thank you to everyone who has been reaching out with concern since i was detained yesterday. i’m home now, but i want to clarify what happened because the violence and chaos we experienced cannot be reduced to a story about a “crowd becoming violent.”
the police cornered us against a wall, with officers on both sides and directly in front of us. they began pushing protesters into one another, creating stampede-like conditions. i was hurt in the process, and many others were in pain and struggling to remain upright. when police block exits, compress a crowd, and push bodies into one another, they create the very chaos that is later blamed on protesters.
we were then dragged towards police vans and detained. a female police officer who was in civilian clothes was dragging women by their kurtis, hair, and necks. multiple people said they were hurt by her. the first two women who were forcibly dragged and detained were, of course, muslim women wearing hijab; their hijabs were pulled off forcefully.
at the police station, officers offered us chai and began recording videos, saying they needed to show politicians visiting the station that they “don’t abuse people.” when we confronted officers about police violence in Delhi and other states on 20 July, the response was essentially: “that was Delhi police. we are mumbai police.”
but chai is not accountability. trying to be polite after detention does not erase what happened beforehand, i have been there before, lol. and the state does not deserve praise simply for refraining from further abuse or unlawful conduct. so stop thanking them ffs.
we were eventually released and returned home. FIRs have now been filed against us.
i also want to make something absolutely clear: i have not supported CJP from day one, and i have received plenty of abuse for saying so. our political disagreements remain. but no disagreement justifies abandoning people to state violence. what we witnessed made one thing painfully clear: when people demand their rights, the machinery of the state can close ranks against them.
we were able to come home. many people targeted by the state have not had that privilege. i thought of Umar Khalid, Gulfisha Fatima, Sharjeel Imam, and countless other political prisoners who have lost years of their lives behind bars while demanding dignity and justice.
since 20 July, this has become bigger than any organisation or leadership. the credit belongs to the people who showed up with their bodies, hope, and courage. a handful of people cannot be expected to carry this burden alone.
we all need to show up. this is the people's movement.
No integrity in this whole party!
Last general elections, they were standing with INDIA bloc, forfeited the alliance for state elections and are now this. THIS is amazing!
Raghav Chadha joining BJP is not a surprise, they all never had any integrity.
This is amazing!
CJP and Sonam Wangchuk: One month protest at Jantar Mantar. Modi govt refuses to talk to them
Rahul Gandhi: Allowed to protest outside PM residence. In one hour Modi Govt starts dialogue
Wah! Kya jugalbandi hai!
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.
bhadwe saale na hunger strike ki students ke saath, aur yahaan photo khichwa rhe hain while teenagers are being beaten up, getting bloody head injuries. don't talk to me if you wanna defend them, they abandoned protestors,the march, you fkcers always fall for neoliberal fascists!
@anishgawande@ishxkal He’s talking about LEADERS. The ones who made the call for march, and left the youth to be beaten up with no direction. A lot of reflection is needed. The protesters clearly wanted Modi-Shah’s resignation while what is still being submitted to ministers is a pawn’s resignation
The more this savarna jamaat opposes name of Babasaheb and slogan of jai bhim more intense and powerful it got.
बाबासाहेब के निर्वाण के बाद इन लोगो की तीन पिढिया विरोध करते चली गई पर कुछ नहीं हुआ. उलटा अनेक सवर्ण बाबासाहेब के विचारो सी जुड गये.
“Biggest protest in the last 12 years.”
It’s remarkable how quickly we’re watching the last decade being erased in real time.
The protests against CAA-NRC.
The farmers’ movement.
Countless student movements.
Regional struggles that never trended.
THOUSANDS JAILED.
THOUSANDS DEAD.
Families were torn apart.
Many are still paying the price for standing up to the state.
No protest needs to be diminished to acknowledge another.
But calling this the biggest protest of the last 12 years isn’t just historically inaccurate. It erases the memory of those who resisted long before it became socially rewarding to do so.
That’s the privilege of selective memory.
When the consequences were borne by minorities, farmers, activists and ordinary citizens, many looked away because it wasn’t their fight.
Now that the issue reaches a different section of society, we’re suddenly being told that this is where resistance begins.
It doesn’t.
Resistance didn’t begin today.
You’re only noticing it today.
And that distinction matters.
Because every time we erase the people who came before us, we don’t just rewrite history.
We make the work of those in power easier.
@abhijeet_dipke An apology isn't enough. How many lathi blows did you personally face? Sitting on a bus with a mic while others were injured isn't leadership....! If you couldn't manage the crowd or ensure their safety, why call them in the first place..?
