 Hello everyone and welcome to NewsClick. In the past few weeks, India has witnessed massive protests. From farmers to students, teachers, workers, youth, all have come out on the streets in thousands to make their demands heard. With rising unemployment, attack on reservation, education, budget fund cuts, violence against women, people from all walks of life have come together and are agitating and protesting for what's right. We bring you a glimpse of some of these protests that have taken place in this segment of the protests. For the last 30 years, the National Capital witnessed a 9-day civil agitation led by farmers, veterans and youths. Several sections of the civil society participated to register their protests against the growing politics of hate in the country. The Modi was promised 5 years ago. It's not time to go. He didn't give up. He did it with the farmers. He didn't give up. He didn't give up. He did it with the army. He didn't give up by giving up one-to-one pension. And he did it with the youth. He did it with the youth after giving them 2 crores every year. He did it with all three. The people of 75-70% of the country who are against this agitation, farmers, youths, students, and one-to-one servicemen, are all angry. We want to set an agenda for the government today. We want the next elections to be held on behalf of the Prime Minister. We want the next elections to be held on behalf of all political parties. On the 31st of January, teachers from various states brought the capital to a halt when they marched against the BJP government's uninterrupted and step-by-step attempt at squeezing the caste-based reservation out of university spaces. The main demands of the students and teachers included scrapping of the 13-point roster system, taking back the 10% reservation bill, and an end to the attacks on the rights of the OVC and SCST communities. On the 1st of February, the day the Interim Union budget was announced. They protested against the BJP government's failure to provide housing, social security, and minimum wages to 90% of the students. They protested against the BJP government's failure to provide housing, social security, and minimum wages to 90% of the students. They protested against the BJP government's failure to provide housing, social security, and minimum wages to 93% of India's workforce. If we give a cup of tea, even a small bowl of tea will be kept separately, as if we are suffering from an infection. So we will work in your homes. We will cook for you. We will also use a broom. But when it comes to our convenience, the government says that we have to provide housing. We need a house. We need a place that we have built. We need a place that we have built. I don't have a beard or a beard. I have been here for 60 years. I need a pencil. My children are very small. One is gone, and the other doesn't give me bread. I need a pencil. In agitation, on February 2nd, around 6,000 citizens from all across India came together to demand justice for the victims of the PACL Chit Fund scam. Having invested lakhs and crores of rupees in the company, around 6 crore families have faced loss and betrayal. The Modi government has failed to provide any kind of support to these families. However, they remain determined to fight for their rights. There are 6.5 crore people in the country who have collected money in the PACL company in the name of small budget schemes. But in the past 2013, there is a pending of Rs.7000 crore which is not being paid. My family has invested Rs.7000 crore in the PACL company. They say, don't worry, your money will be wasted. My children are rich. My wife is rich. They say, how can we get money? You have taken all the money. How can we get our money? How can we get it? And who will tell us about our pain? I have also said one thing. People who live here, don't call me Tarak Farsi. But I am suffering in China. I am suffering for a donation. I am not able to get my money. What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? Organizations, student unions and other movements came together to create a national platform against the Modi led BJP government. The organizations constituting the platform included All India Students Association, Chhatra Uva Sanghar Samiti, Youth for Swaraj, Students for Society, Uva GDS, Tamajwadi Chhatra Sabha, among others. Members of these organizations participated in the Young India Adhikar March which started at the Red Fort and concluded at the Parliament Street. In the last five years, we have come to Delhi to take the responsibility of the BJP government. BJP government and Farsi government are taking responsibility. This issue is only being limited in temples and mosques. There is no focus on job, education, education and health care. Today's Uva Chhatra Chhatri has come to this rally. Our demand is that the 13-point roster system should be completed and brought to the 200-point system. At least 10% of GDP should be spent on education. Even now, the entire government should be filled with more than 24 lakh posts. In the name of development, they have asked for a vote from us. We can't see them anywhere. They don't have jobs here. They are having a lot of fun, even today. Since January, the Applied Arts Department of Jamia Melia-Islamia has been protesting in a peaceful manner against their head of department, Hafeez Ahmed, alleging sexual harassment. On the 7th of February, the protests turned violent when a few female students alleged that they were beaten up, sexually harassed and molested by some boys from the same department who were not supporting their protest. As for the students, in the past two, students have written to the Dean of Students' Welfare and officials concerned but still date the university administration has not taken any action against the HOD. I am a faculty of Fine Arts, Applied Arts, Secondary student too. When I was in first year, the head of the department targeted me and even my classmates felt that the head targets me. They have commented on me personally, like, what do you do until 3 in the night? If you have a pain in your neck, I will tell you a yoga. You love each other, how many of you love each other? The questions that were asked in front of the entire class that made me uncomfortable, what ghee do you eat? Do you eat desi ghee or olive oil? And still that person is in the university. We have complained so many times, we took our personal issues to the registrar. When we complained there, he said, forget about the past. How can we forget what happened with us? Even if that person stays in the university and the department, is there a guarantee that they won't do all this again? So this time we only want a termination. The indefinite strike by thousands of midday meal cooks, locally known as Rasoyas in Bihar, completed one month on January 7th. To further intensify their struggle, the Rasoyas have now threatened to get out the Bihar assembly next week during the budget session if the state government does not invite them for talks. And in Delhi, hundreds of midday meal workers gathered at Chantar Mantar to raise their voices against the anti-people policy of the Modi government and demand better wages, working conditions and job security. Today we have our salary increased, we don't get anything. We have 4,000 children, we don't have a husband. We don't have a father for 4 children in 2000. What does Modi know? He himself doesn't have any children. So what does he know? How will he get a family in 2000? He thinks that he is a father, he is a public father. We get a lot of calls, sometimes 2 or 3 months, 4 or 5 months. The Modi government says to increase our payment. If you sit down, it's not possible. If you sit down, we can remove you. We can remove you, and we can make a government announcement. Listen to our demand. We don't want you to... We have been working for 14-15 years. We don't want anyone to be responsible. We want everyone to be responsible. We want everyone to be responsible. We want everyone to work hard. We won't take less than 18,000 rupees. At least, if you ask for it, you can do whatever you want from your mouth. When I say that I will do whatever I want, I will send money for free. I will do whatever I want. I will do whatever I want.
