Student Protests and Government Response
Sir, honestly, it's very surprising. Here, the students are absolutely
trying to protest peacefully. The opposition also wants to protest peacefully.
They want to protest peacefully. But despite that, their voices have been
silenced like this. They have not even been given a chance to demonstrate. Jantar Mantar
has been completely sealed off. You can see a tear gas vehicle here. You can see a water
cannon vehicle here. It is so frightening to think who
it will be used on next. This is happening in our India. This is truly
surprising. If you want to speak out against the government, you are not getting a chance
to say it. And why? Why for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation?
We do not understand why the government is protecting him in this way.
Atishi, Atishi Marwah. Yes, she was just detained here about
five or ten minutes ago and
I think it's still the same, only there are a few police personnel, so they're
going to detain other people as well.
I think it's scattered, which is why it is easy for the police to detain
people, and if the people were in larger numbers or
like when we had the CGMP protest, it was a sort of mass movement.
So if it were like that, maybe it wouldn't be so easy for the police, but there is
so much deployment that the network isn't working at all. I tried using
Wi-Fi last time. At least the Wi-Fi was working at the nearby cafés. They found
out, I guess, that this is what people do.
They find these loopholes, so even the Wi-Fi servers have been shut down
and I think our basic democratic right to protest is being so severely violated.
करने का जो हमारा basic democratic right है, उसी को इतना violate कर रहे
They've put up a warning poster there saying that you, under BNS
If you violate Section 163, force will be used against you,
you will be detained. So what kind of
state has our country come to, that
if there is a peaceful protest today, on Gandhi Jayanti,
the nonviolence that Gandhi Ji
gave us, gave this country, and gave the whole world. Non-
violent protest is happening, people are demanding their rights. Sir, which
is an
unconstitutional process being carried out in our country.
For that,
I don't think anyone is present for any wrong reasons. There are some
terrorists and such terrorist activities, they have made some announcement over speakers about them.
This is not a terrorist activity. You call anyone a dissenter
and impose UAPA or NSA on them and detain them.
This is not, I don't think this is what Gandhi Ji fought for, and
what any of the other freedom fighters fought for, and like, if
If this very thing were happening 100 years ago, that very Gandhi
ji, those same freedom fighters would
be fighting against this Indian state
today.
I am a student. I have come to
participate in the protest, but they are not letting us in.
And I think it's—
are they even constitutionally allowed to do this? Like, I think
it's our right to protest, and they are not letting us in, and they're
detaining people.

Original transcript (Hindi)
सर सच कहूं तो बहुत ताज्जुब की बात है। यहां पर छात्र बिल्कुल शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से protest करना चाह रहे हैं। जो विपक्ष है वह शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से protest करना चाह रहे हैं। लेकिन उसके बावजूद उनकी आवाज को यूं इस तरह दबा दिया गया है उनको प्रदर्शन करने का मौका ही नहीं मिला है। जंतर मंतर पूरी तरह से seal कर दिया गया है। आंसू गैस की गाड़ी आप यहां पर देख सकते हैं। water
cannon की गाड़ी आप यहां पर देख सकते हैं। कितनी डराने वाली बात है कि यह किस पर आगे पड़ेगी। यह मतलब हमारे India में हो रहा है। यह सच में ताज्जुब की बात। सरकार के खिलाफ अगर आप बोलना चाह रहे हो तो उसे बताने का मौका नहीं मिल पा रहा है। और क्यों? ज्ञानेश कुमार के इस्तीफे के लिए क्यों? सरकार उन्हें इस तरह के से protect कर रही है यह हमें समझ नहीं आ रहा है।
Atishi, Atishi Marwah. Yes she was just detained here like five ten minutes ago and I think अभी भी same बस है and थोड़ा police personal है तो they are going to detain other people as well. I think it's scattered तो इसलिए it is easy for the police to detain
people and अगर the people were in larger numbers or like when we had the CGMP protest, it was a mass movement sort of thing. तो अगर वैसा होता maybe police के लिए इतना easy नहीं होता but it is इतना deployment है network काम नहीं कर रहा है। I tried using Wi-Fi last time at least Wi-Fi चल रहे थे यहां पास के cafes के। उनको पता
चल गया I guess कि अच्छा this is what people do. यह loopholes ढूंढ लेते हैं तो Wi-Fi भी Wi-Fi के भी servers down कर दिए गए हैं and I think यह protest करने का जो हमारा basic democratic right है, उसी को इतना violate कर रहे हैं। वहां पर चेतावनी करके एक poster लगा रखा है कि आप BNS
का 163 का उल्लंघन करेंगे तो आपके ऊपर बल का प्रयोग किया जाएगा, आपको detain कर लिया जाएगा। तो यह क्या state क्या दशा बन गई हमारे देश की कि अगर peaceful protest आज गांधी जयंती है। गांधी जी ने जो हमें non violence का
वह दिया है, इस देश को दिया है, पूरी दुनिया को दिया है। non violent protest कर रहे हैं, अपने rights की demand कर रहे हैं। SIR जो कि एक unconstitutional process carry out हो रहा है हमारी country में। उसके लिए
I don't think कोई wrong reasons के लिए present है। वह कुछ आतंकवादी वगैरह ऐसी terrorist activities में कुछ ऐसा इन्होंने speaker लगा रखा है। This is not a terrorist activity। आप किसी को भी dissenter बोलकर उस पर UAPA या NSA लगाकर detain कर लेते हो। यह तो नहीं I don't think so this is what गांधी जी fought for और
any of the other freedom fighters fought for and like अगर यही चीज आज से 100 साल पहले हो रही होती तो वही गांधी जी, वही freedom fighters इसी Indian state के against लड़ रहे होते।
I am a student. I have come to participate in the protest but they are not letting us in and I think it's are they even constitutionally allowed to do this like I think it's our right to protest and they are not letting us in and they are
detaining people.
