To post about the anti-reservation/UGC protest at Jantar Mantar. Share it on Instagram, Facebook, and every other social media platform.
If the media won’t amplify us, we will. Make our voice impossible to ignore.
Now, the “UGC Roll Back” protest has started at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
Either remove or reform the UGC Promotion of Equity Regulations. They are one-sided regulations. And, these regulations could end up dividing students and creating further divisions on university campuses.
If General category students are not included in protection against caste-based discrimination on campuses, then the UGC Promotion of Equity Regulations will be misused like the SC/ST Act.
It will be used as a weapon for personal grudges, jealousy, and to destroy careers.
The objective should be to eliminate discrimination and casteism, the rules must apply equally to everyone...General, OBC, SC, ST...everyone. Regulations should unite campuses, not divide them.
DAY 585
Dear Prime Minister
@narendramodi@kishanreddybjp RODE THE DELHI METRO TO THE AIRPORT TODAY AND CALLED IT "WORLD-CLASS." HE IS RIGHT. THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM.
Today, our own MP from Secunderabad posted photos of himself gliding through Delhi's airport Metro, praising its efficiency, and calling on India to "embrace public transport for a cleaner, greener, sustainable future."
We agree completely.
So where is that same energy for the city that elected him?
Hyderabad remains the ONLY major airport city in India with NO direct Metro connectivity to its own International Airport. Not a delayed connection. Not a partial one. Zero.
Hyderabad Metro Phase-II has been waiting for Union approval for YEARS. The IRFC issue is unresolved. Hyderabad is now India's 4th most congested city. 4.5 lakh commuters are crushed daily into a Phase-I network that hasn't grown an inch.
And the MP whose job it is to fight for exactly this system for his own constituency chose today to advertise someone else's.
Sir, with respect — posing in Delhi's Metro is easy. Getting Phase-II cleared for Secunderabad, for Hyderabad, for the people who voted for you, is the actual work.
Your constituents are not stuck in "world-class" trains today. They are stuck in traffic, watching you enjoy a system they still don't have.
People of your constituency asking
@kishanreddybjp, when will you fight for Hyderabad's Metro the same way you're praising Delhi's?
Delhi Metro se airport... nice.
Hyderabad Metro to airport? Still waiting for years.
Stop the photo-ops. Start the approval.
APPROVE HYDERABAD METRO PHASE-II.
RESOLVE THE IRFC ISSUE. CONNECT OUR AIRPORT.
Galli bole Phase 2 Metro.
Delhi bolo Phase 2 Metro.
STRONG METRO. STRONG HYDERABAD.

JOIN THE FIGHT. RAISE THE VOICE. STAND WITH HYDERABAD.
Over the past many years, I have taken a personal stand in support of the NEET examination, arguing that it brought uniformity in student selection across the country and gave students from underprivileged backgrounds a real shot at pursuing their dream of medical education. In the last 5 years, the NEET UG question paper has leaked thrice. Imagine the amount of pressure that it puts on students, who had to go through the examination process yet another time when the system that was supposed to bring in uniformity was failing. Yet there was no accountability, and I believe strongly that it was that moment that brought in a shift in the minds of the students to take to the streets to cry their hearts out.
Protest is a fundamental right in a Democracy. The pertinent question, however, is this: why did the BJP-led Central Government take so long to initiate a dialogue with the protestors? Why was meaningful engagement delayed until the protest had escalated to a flashpoint? What kept you waiting?
The students and the people who are leading them also have a responsibility here. It is natural that when a protest stays on for weeks, people with vested interests will take the stage to air views that are either completely irrelevant to the initial demands of the protests or would try to completely hijack it to serve their agenda. If you remain silent and let these people with vested interests further their agenda, then you are deviating from your core objectives. Please do not let it happen!
I urge the BJP-led Central Government to engage in meaningful dialogue, uphold transparency, and take swift, appropriate action to address the concerns at hand. The strength of any nation lies in the confidence its youth place in its institutions. If our students lose faith in the fairness and credibility of our education system, we are jeopardising the future of our nation.
