#Sedition in #NewIndia

The nine-year-old breaks down when asked where her mother is. It’s been three days since Najumunissa, a single parent, was put in jail on sedition charges after the Class 5 student spoke against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in a school play, and said she would hit anyone who asked for documents with shoes.

This protest is met with such violence?
Do you see anything that makes you feel they are 'gundas'??
These are students (most of them who can't afford education in the #newindia that we live in) who are protesting for affordable education. Only people who are anti-education will feel threatened by this.
This gives me more hope in democracy. This gives me an assurance that there are people who will rise against injustice. This makes me proud.
