The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.
It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indianโs future is jeopardised again.
The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.
Thank you CJP for making people believe for the first time in 12 years that it is completely normal to protest against a regime and that Modi is just a politician and not a non biological entity blessed on earth for Indians.
Donโt know the end result but it made us believe that there is still some hope left in the country.
More than 75,000 people have gathered at Jantar Mantar and thousands more are trying to get there as the govt shuts down Metro stations and public transport around Jantar Mantar.
Meanwhile, Police has shut down CCTV cameras and internet around Jantar Mantar. Why is the government so scared of our youth?
