Sir, what do you think about this announcement of a protest by Abhijeet and Deepika?

And regarding the talk about getting permission,

will the police grant permission or not?

And what else is being said behind this,

that Abhijeet and Deepika could also be arrested?

No, look, an arrest can be made deliberately.

Otherwise, there is no reason for an arrest. Abhijeet has already

said that we want to present our protest and demands in a peaceful manner.

And this is both a right and a duty of the people of the country.

And especially the youth, I say this repeatedly,

the youth have a greater duty Because the youth talk about ideals,

how they want to see and build their country.

And further, getting permission is just regulatory. What does regulatory even mean?

That there shouldn't be any disorder anywhere due to the protest,

that is the only duty of the police. It is a positive duty, not a negative duty.

The police's duty is to grant permission, not at all to stop the protest.

And peaceful protest is the people's right.

It is the police's duty to cooperate, not their choice.

If the police mostly deny permission,

it means they are not working according to the Constitution.

They work because of some other master,

because of monarchy and dictatorship, acting at someone's behest.

And I say repeatedly,

the Police Act and the attitude of the police

in the country are absolutely like monarchy and dictatorship in this country.

A lot of change is needed now.

The police must grant permission,

and if a peaceful protest is to be held and they have no bad intentions,

then there is not even a need for permission.

Because, is it called a protest when the country's democracy

is being authoritarianized, being turned into a monarchy? Permission for everything,

permission for everything, and those who grant permission don't give it.

Because who do you think the Delhi Police is under? The Home Minister.

Who is the Home Minister?

Amit Shah. What will Amit Shah do?

Whatever is right for Narendra Modi. He will do only that,

he will give those orders to the police.

And the country's police has not been constitutionalized yet, not been humanized.

It is still monarchized, still authoritarianized, and from top to bottom,

it's all' Yes sir, yes boss, yes boss'.

The concept of' No sir' has not been born here yet. Within the country,

democracy means saying' No sir'.
