Amidst the slogans of CJP movement being raised on the streets of Delhi, there is one voice which has left behind the noise of the crowd. This voice is not of any political leader, but of Rishika, a 22-year-old corporate law student suffering from blood cancer, who has joined the movement alone from Jaipur, Rajasthan, after saying ‘goodbye’ to her parents. Speaking to Read.com, she said her words were – “If the government does not bow down, I will even give up my life.”

This is not just the anger of corporate law student Rishika. The poster with which Rishika was standing had it written, “Don’t care about anyone, because bastards are very bad.”

This is not just Rishika’s anger, but the restlessness of that generation, which is not sure about its future even after being educated. cjp The protest and the tough stance of the Modi government has now become not just a movement, but a big debate on the trust of youth, the place of disagreement in democracy and the expectations of employment.

Will the call of the student fighting ‘Blood Cancer’ reach power?

Actually, Rishika, a resident of Jaipur, is a student of corporate law. She says that she is more worried about the future of the youth of the country than her illness.

Parents stopped him from going to Delhi alone, but he listened to his heart and decided to join the movement.

Has job become the biggest question after studies?

Rishika says that the talk of new education policy, skill development and professional education is incomplete until the youth do not get adequate employment opportunities. According to him, the government repeatedly advises to start a startup, but the financial condition of every family is not such that they can start a business by investing lakhs of rupees. His question is that if there are no jobs then where will the education and skills be used?

Responding to the voice of protest with batons and tear gas How?

Rishika’s question and allegation is that the way lathi charge and tear gas was used against the protesting youth, it shook her to the core.

Rishika’s courage a symbol of youth’s restlessness?

Will there be a new beginning of trust or will conflict increase?

Amidst the CJP movement, the Modi government is continuously portraying its policies as being in the interest of the youth, while the agitators are raising questions regarding employment, education and alleged anti-student decisions. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether the government will choose the path of dialogue or will this situation of conflict deepen further? Because democracy does not run only through elections, but is also strengthened by listening to the voices of citizens and respecting dissent.

The sentiments of girl students like Rishika are an indication that the youth of the country want not just a degree but also opportunities, accountability and trust.
