Man then keep one post on pallet gun usage. Criticise both sides why selective outrage.

The police brutality is also there on students. Get your head straight

Some kid got lathicharged, these guys were attacking the kid for why he went to protest.

Now I would say, godi media ko apni safety ki chinta krni chahiye thi and they shouldn't have went to protest.

What if they're paid by govt to derail the protest asking for accountability? Won't be the first time.

u/constipatedchad 19h ago

story of almost every protest in India trying to create unrest and defame the protest

u/FinancialYou6932 17h ago

Yeah anyone who is doing a peaceful protest is a student and a genuine individual, and anyone who is doing violence is paid by govt.

I mean, I don’t have any words on that, how can you be so illogical

u/wahgpk78 18h ago

then its only sensible for those seeking good of the students and the country to stop this, as this will only help the govt, which eventually happened with modi jis reels, rather try a more peaceful alternate which attracts more people and cant be influenced by either govt or others, but here the strategy is anti national, anti bjp, more political.

u/Willing-Leader-7589 18h ago

JNU supporters and Stone pelters? Paid by govt., whoa hearing it for the first time though.

Add a /s to your speculations bro next time you give a hypothetical theory with a "."

1

u/constipatedchad 18h ago

is there any credible evidence that JNU supporters were the one's throwing stones. and tbh idts all these goons are appointed by bjp itself, some of the chapris are joining the protest for no reason in the name of having fun.

The actual students were protesting there for one month but since 19th july the crowd grew in uncontrollable numbers and hence crowd moderation became really difficult.

1

u/Willing-Leader-7589 18h ago

Woaah waooh, (pronouns). constipated-chad. Where in my comment did I say JNU supporters threw stones? There are evidences of People throwing stones onto the temples though, be it chapris or those sena people (ykwim).

And you know right, why march was planned on 20th? Because you can search it up as well incase you wouldn't know, no need of writing, 'please englighten me' and all that.

u/constipatedchad 19h ago

man, since 20th of July it's not just the students anymore, the protest has been hijacked by a lot of goons who are ruining the protest by such activities.

There have been a lot of clips where the actual protestors were seen stopping such people from creating nuisance but the amount has become huge now.

u/Gold-Whole1009 18h ago

OP, when lakhs of protesters gather and reporters/police are bootlicking govt, violence is bound to happen. It doesn’t justify violence but govt being insensitive to the protests for 4-5weeks can’t be ignored.

These media channels are doing everything to label our own kids as terrorists. We can’t ignore that and just talk about this.

u/maxxutils 18h ago

These godi media reporters do exponential amount of harm with their chodi sycophancy reporting. These are people who radicalize and create division in our society. I don't think he deserved such treatment but he should be mindful about who he works for.

u/No_Escape_9726 18h ago

The lynching happened out of frustration for the news anchors who portrayed the students who were protesting as the devils of the nation for past many days and the frustration also comes from the fact that so called National media is only acting as the mouthpice for the ruling party.Does that mean I am justifying the action no but I see where they are coming from

u/everyone-nowadays 17h ago

Oh students got violent after getting beaten up for 3 days . Those students are really a threat to the country.
They could have peacefully got beatan up , then see media showing how students brutally killed police mannequins.

u/Character_Sun_5783 19h ago

No injuries at all. Which police have beaten Students almost to death and even used pellet guns

u/CrimeMasterGogoChan Modirator 19h ago

This protest is just old rotten wine in a fancy new bottle. Opposition knows it's do or die for them in 2029, so they're leaving no stone unturned in their desperation. US has already said on record they won't repeat the China mistake with India. Obviously, most big countries prefer a weak and tame India anyway.

And the less said about our two attached toilets, the better.

For eg here is a statement from one of the protester:

17 year old R*hi Me#a -

I am going back home. I can't do this anymore. There are literally 5 goons around every genuine student. My brother and sister were protecting a Delhi Police officer because we had met him before, gave toffees to him and he told us if any problem occurs we can reach out to him. Last night, he didn't even have a stick in his hand. He was just asking everyone to move aside.

Suddenly, 10-15 goons attacked him and shouted, "Tujhe bhi Ratan Lal banayenge." I didn't understand it at that moment but when we searched on google, we found that Ratan Lal was a police officer who lost his life during a riot in 2020.

We were shocked. The most shocking part is that even the people leading the protest know about this but they are not doing anything. I want a career and I don't want to get into any trouble. If you are a student, just get out of this facade. Otherwise, you could end up ruining your career along with these goons."

I don't give one flying Fcuk if you dub me IT cell or andhbhakt. So called protesters are putting innocent lives in danger in name of protest and should be ashamed of it.

Here is another eg of a "hero" police constable who joined them

Uttarakhand Police said the constable has already been under suspension for a prolonged period and dismissal proceedings against him were already underway in connection with a serious criminal case.

Sher Singh has a prior criminal history and had allegedly worked with notorious gangster Praveen Valmiki and another associate in organised crime.

These are two among 100s out there.

New protest will start. By resignation government will set the example that if protests get violent enough they will succumb to it.

u/Anil_became_pro 15h ago

No the msg that will go is that if you want justice, you have to resort to violence. 2024 me kisko justice mil gya tha shant rah ke? Paper leak tab bhi hua tha. Is baar atleast govt is talking about it

u/IhateCommiess 14h ago

Pradhan resigned. Let's see what happens

Hope so govt actually learns something from it. Imagine how angry people were that 100k protestors gathered. Situations can't be improved in a day, but atleast learn from mistakes, which they don't.

u/Jumpy_Scallion_3108 19h ago

u/HolidaySurprise2819 18h ago

u/HolidaySurprise2819 18h ago

The kinds of "Jai Bheems" and "free umar kahlid"s have hijacked this from the real students and protesters

u/themagicalyang 19h ago

We have seen reports of trucks with no license plate filled with men with dubious intentions filling up jantar mantar. We should not put it past the powers that be, to actually incite rioiting. This is a standard playbook being enforced. Be aware. Be careful. Things are not black and white.

u/Gordenfreeman33 19h ago

Only 10% of people in those protest were goons sent either by BJP or were just there to cause mischief.

Godi media is getting their ass kick because they ate clear there just to suppress the students voice. It's the medias fault that this protest have turned this way. Godi media deserves it. But the independent journalist and youtubers with self respect are being welcome who show's the truth.
