*****************************************************************************

As scheduled we went on a hunger strike yesterday.The group walked upto to the Rastrapati Bhawan and sat rite in front of the gate…The march was peaceful and no slogans were involved..The group,although small was effective……as they say “A LION is worth 100 SHEEPS”…

Soon whole of the police force around was in panic…..officers rushin in on their VINTAGE motorbikes,jeeps n all….Soon the place was buzzing with people…we were gatherin support from people originaly not with us…strangers comin to us and appreciatin da effort…..Even POLICEMEN were supportin da cause…one of them even said..”Soon we will have reservations in jobs n duty shifts….like on monday OBC would be on duty in police,on TUE SCs…etc….”
But it was dere duty to make sure we vacate da place….and eventually RAF was called to make sure we leave da place….for a bunch of 20 peaceful protesting students…about 70 odd RAF personels were called….wat a way!!!!!!!!
They started negotiatin with us and promised us to leave us at Jantar Mantar if we peacefuly co-operate with them…our aim wasnt to disturb da law n order situation n so we agreed….but instead of takin them to jantar mantar,they took them to Central Sectt Police station…….i manged to escape da arrest along wid 2 oders….while they were held inside da station,we were standin outside,tryin to gather some support…we managed to get a doc from AIIMS came over and helped us…the students were released around 7PM…….

Students Arrested !!

Today, 15 students were arrested by Delhi Police for holding a hunger strike to show protest against the Reservation Quota Bill.

Friends, these people are like you and me citizens of this country and when they have tried to stand up for something that is just and right, our government has a Article 144 slapped against them.

Are we free or not? Do we have the right to speech and expression here? This government is by, of and FOR the people. Aren’t they supposed to be serving us?

It is a humble request to all to please pass this message about student getting arrested to as many people as possible and also join in the movement to save our country from Second Partition which this UPA government seems to be aiming at.

We are all Indians, let us be united.
