Friends, there are protests following yesterday’s tragedy.

Looking at the scale of gross negligence, I believe it’s the moral thing to join this.

The situation is unsafe for aspirants in most of the places in ORN including coaching institutes.

I’m not in Delhi but will reach tonight.

Will join the protests tomorrow in ORN.

Please take good care and stay safe if you’re joining the protests.

Note to all students:

This is OUR movement.

Don't let any politician take limelight or guide you on what to do next.

Avoid being influenced by anyone & at no point turn to ANY form of violence.

Bangladesh is burning when similar student protests are hijacked. India is not immune to deep state forces, either.

Stay vigil, be responsible
