🚨 वन नेशन, वन इमोशन! 🚨
२४ जुलै, शुक्रवार रोजी छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज पार्क येथे आमच्यासोबत सामील व्हा! दुपारी ४ वाजल्यापासून आपण सर्वजण तिरंग्याखाली एकत्र येऊया आणि सायंकाळी ५ वाजता आपले राष्ट्रगीत गाऊया.
दिल्लीतील अमानुष दडपशाही आणि देशभरातील विद्यार्थ्यांच्या अटकेच्या निषेधार्थ हे शांततापूर्ण आंदोलन आयोजित करण्यात आले आहे. देशासाठी लढणाऱ्या धाडसी तरुणांच्या पाठीशी महाराष्ट्र खंबीरपणे उभा आहे, हे दाखवून देणे हा ह्यामगचा उद्देश आहे.
जर तुम्ही जंतरमंतर येथे आंदोलन करणाऱ्या @Wangchuk66 जी, @abhijeet_dipke आणि इतर आंदोलनकर्त्या तरुणांच्या पाठीशी असाल, तर नक्की या. तसेच, विरोधी पक्षनेते राहुल गांधी आणि इतर खासदारांना आंदोलन करताना ज्या प्रकारे ताब्यात घेण्यात आले, त्या हुकूमशाहीच्या विरोधात असाल तरी नक्की या. जर हे त्यांच्यासोबत घडू शकते, तर उद्या तुमच्यासोबतही नक्कीच घडू शकते.
त्या आंदोलनातील महिला आणि पुरुषांवर ज्या प्रकारे क्रूर बळाचा वापर करण्यात आला, त्या हुकूमशाही प्रवृत्तीच्या विरोधात असाल तर नक्की या.
हे सर्व देशप्रेमींचे शांततापूर्ण आंदोलन आहे. जागृत झालेल्या देशासाठी, हातात तिरंगा घेऊन एकत्र येऊन राष्ट्रगीत गाण्यासाठी.
देशभक्ती आणि देशावरचे प्रेम म्हणजेचं, जे अयोग्य आहे त्याविरोधात प्रश्न विचारणं... सत्ताधारी देशाची सेवा करण्यात वा प्रशासन चालवण्यात अपयशी ठरतात तेव्हा त्यांना त्याबद्दल जबाबदार धरणं!
सर्व नागरिक, सर्व राजकीय पक्ष आणि विचारसरणीच्या लोकांनी (कोणत्याही पक्षीय झेंड्याशिवाय) आणि आपल्या पुढच्या पिढीचे भविष्य उज्ज्वल असावे, चांगले असावे; असे ज्यांना ज्यांना वाटते अशा सर्वांना आमचे आग्रहाचे निमंत्रण आहे.
सर्व विचारसरणीच्या पलीकडे जाऊन सर्व भारतीयांचा एकच आवाज.
नक्की या!
जय हिंद! जय महाराष्ट्र! वंदे मातरम!
#SOS: To every Indian,
Things are looking grimmer by the day.
I don’t know how much longer Sonam sir can hold on. He keeps telling us he can. But those of us sitting beside him are terribly worried.
This is a man who could have chosen a life of comfort and recognition. Instead, the recipient of a Ramon Magsaysay Award, an honour equivalent to the Nobel Prize, is putting his own life at risk for the future of our children, the young, and this country. He sits for those dead students murdered by a broken, corrupt education system. He is sacrificing his body and maybe his life for a greater cause.
It makes me think what does it say about US that a son of India, who brought us such great honour before the world, has to STARVE himself to death simply to be heard by his OWN government?
This is not my idea of India. This is not India!
Somewhere along the way, we stopped feeling. We began to accept silence when there should have been outrage, indifference where there should have been compassion. We have become spectators to suffering. We have convinced ourselves that someone ELSE will speak, someone ELSE will act.
I have no words left.
I am sorry sir.
We are failing you. We are failing you by allowing a nation to reach a point where a man of your integrity and stature must gamble with his own life just to make those in power LISTEN. We are failing you because we normalised arrogance over empathy. We normalised power over compassion. And we normalised indifference over conscience.
July 20 is our last attempt to save you.
If we cannot stand up now, history will not ask what Sonam Wangchuk did for India. It will ask what India did when Sonam Wangchuk needed her.
Sonam wangchuk sir is on hunger strike till the resignation of Education minister,
Please 🥺 come and support peacefully at Jantar Mantar,
It's for you and your children not personal.🤯
Criticizing bad infrastructure by these corrupt politicians have become offense now.
How come it is "Maharashtra ka Apman"??
"Nationalism" & "Regionalism" have destroyed this country instead of protecting.
She is Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde, her job to look into the city’s infrastructure.
But when the entire city is drowning, she chose to ask common people to go home who were sitting outside in order to look responsible.
BJP leaders try to do everything instead of their assigned work. And why can’t she carry umbrella by herself?
Upon 2nd thought, I welcome this move.
Whenever we muslims go out to eat, there’s always this headache of finding Halal restaurants.
These proud branding of non-halal is actually helping muslims not to go into haram restaurants.
This should be implemented all over the world !!
