 As I am Suranga reporting from New Delhi with how the students have gathered at the heart of the capital city at Parliament Street protesting against the conservative policies of the far right Meejabee government, like Banar-e-Indra Modi, the students here are saying that the policies which have been put forward by this government in the past decade of its rule have extremely anti-student, anti-yodan have led the iteration of the quality of education and of employment in the country. They are particularly opposing the new education policy which the students say will completely destroy the public education system of the country and greatly limit access to education, particularly to the poor and marginalized communities of the country. And in light of the upcoming general elections in the next few months students are demanding an end to the regime of the BJP-led Modi government. So let's go to the students here and listen to their demands. The modern 16th student organization is participating in the protest rally that has been organized under the banner of United States Students of India. We know that in the last 10 years under the RSA's BJP-led Modi government there have been disastrous anti-student policies which have been taking place against the student community. We have seen regularly there have been fun cuts pushing off more privatization in the educational space, public education is facing a huge onslaught by the present current regime and also we have been seeing the reduction of scholarships especially recently a scholarship for the minority community inside this country has been scrapped. We have been seeing reduction of scholarships for the women and the other minorities and marginalized community. We are primarily demanding the new education policy which is absolutely anti-student, anti-people and anti-poor. We want the NEP to go away because the kind of policies that the government is implementing. If all those are there in place then people from marginalized section the women, the Shriulka, Shriul tribe, the OBC, the minority none of us are going to have the chance to get an education in India. In the past few years we have been seeing that there has been a continuous communalization and safranization in the educational space. Changing of syllabus is also the right-wing propaganda is being used, is being pushed into the education sector in a way that appointments are happening according to ideologies, the right-wing ideologies, the teachers, the university professors, everyone being appointed are being appointed according to the far right ideology. Also the things that have been taught whether is the history books, whether is the books of constitution and everything they are trying to rewrite the history in the fashion that suits the right-wing ideology which is a huge onslaught on the democratic ethos of this country. This BJP government they have started an onslaught on the students and youth of our country. We saw every day unemployment rate is increasing and today we are here you can see this is a festival of resistance and we are fighting against these policies, these are fascist policies of the Modi government. They are trying to destroy the very ethos of our constitution, the soul of our constitution which based on secularism, socialism and democracy. So the new education policy is saying that the responsibility that state earlier used to have on ensuring that people have education. We know when India got independence we started talking about universal education. That means everyone who is a citizen of this country will be having the right to get education but if you're going to look into the NEP the government is telling on your face that they are not going to spend for your education anymore. Regarding all these issues and the grappling unemployment ratio that the country has been facing which is the highest in the last 45 years, today's protest rally is to send a message to the representatives at this moment in the Modi government who are sitting in the parliament and taking policies such as the new education policy and pushing further the privatisation policies inside this education sector of this country. We want to just say them that the education sector is for all, education should be accessible and of quality for the all and we find that the Modi government and the current regime has failed to listen to the aspirations of the student community in India. We want a scientific education, we want a secular education, we know in 2024 the national election is going to happen. We want our agenda to be a part of the political agenda. As much as we are seeing anti-student policies driven by this government on the student community, we are also seeing resistance in the past few years. We have seen mass movement from the student community, resistance from the student community against this, against the anti-student policies that the government has tried to push but we are also seeing that as much resistance is there there's curbing of dissent continuously happening. Student too, youth who are coming down to the streets, coming down on the streets because parliament is not able to support the aspirations of the students. We have seen that students' arrests have been made, brutal police has been used against these students to curb down their voices, to stifle the dissenting voices and many of the youth and students who have been very in the forefront of democratic movements are languishing in jail from several universities. So we are here, the students and youth of our country, we are uniting and for the first time in the history of our student movement, the 16th student organization, they're coming together despite differences of ideology, they're coming together to fight against this fascist BJP regime and as you know this BJP government, this fascist government, they're collaborating with these giant, giant forces, those who are killing in Israel, they're changing our foreign policy, the independent foreign policy they're trying to destroy. So this is also, this is not a culture of our country, this is not our India which we know. So that is why this is for uniting everyone, that is why we give a slogan, save education, reject national education policy, save India, reject BJP.
