“No matter how powerful they are…” Chandrashekhar Azad’s big announcement while sitting on strike amidst the rain
Politics is in full swing after the police lathicharge and brutality on protesting students during CJP’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ march at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar last Monday (July 20). Meanwhile, Bhim Army Chief and MP Chandrashekhar Azad has been on strike in the Parliament premises since Monday night.
Wednesday (July 22) is the third day of their protest and during this time heavy rains have also started in Delhi. Even amidst this harsh weather and heavy rain, Chandrashekhar Azad is standing firm on his strike.
“Every drop of rain is acceptable, but injustice to innocent people is not acceptable.”
During this entire struggle, Chandrashekhar Azad has also shared a video of himself on social media. In this video, he is clearly seen sitting in his tent just below the statue of Constitution maker Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar amidst torrential rain.
While sharing this video, Azad wrote in very strong words, “Every drop of rain is acceptable, but injustice to innocent people is never acceptable. Those who have done this injustice, no matter how powerful they are and no matter how big a power stands behind them, they will have to answer for it.” He further wrote that the thoughts of the great men of the country are the real strength of this long struggle.
What did Chandrashekhar Azad say after sitting on strike?
Immediately after sitting on dharna in the Parliament complex, Chandrashekhar Azad termed this attitude of the police as extremely barbaric. He wrote in his message that when oppression begins to cross its limits, a new sun of change also begins to rise from there. He said that the kind of inhuman and barbaric treatment meted out to innocent boys and girls at Jantar Mantar has shaken his heart to the core.
He further said that he may not have witnessed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre during the British rule, but these scenes that have emerged recently have definitely reminded him of that darkest chapter of history.
Azad stressed that it is the fundamental and constitutional right of every citizen to express his views peacefully in the country’s democracy. If this democratic right is responded to with the use of police force, it is a huge blow not just to some specific people but directly to the basic democratic values of the country.
In the end, he made it clear that with this deep pain and strong resolve to protect democratic values, he is sitting on strike under the statue of Baba Saheb in the Parliament House complex. Their peaceful struggle will continue until the victimized students get complete justice and strict legal action is taken against the officials responsible for this shameful incident.
