Peaceful student protesters demanding accountability over NEET exam irregularities were met with tear gas, lathi charges and internet shutdowns — a blatant abuse of state power against citizens exercising a democratic right. The government ignored this movement for a month and then responded with force instead of dialogue. Suppressing youth voices fighting for education justice is exactly what an authoritarian government does.
The so-called peaceful protest was a disorganized spectacle driven by social media clout, not genuine student grievance, and it ended with the mob pelting stones and breaking barricades. No major opposition leader showed up in person, leaving ordinary young people exposed while organizers fabricated claims about government outreach to disguise a clear failure. This movement exploited students as cover for radical agitators seeking chaos.
