That is why the government is trying to detain or arrest us tonight. If that happens, it will be another major mistake. When they took Sonam Sir away, the movement only grew stronger.”“When students were lathi-charged and injured, the protests intensified further. If we are also detained, the movement will spread even more across the country. If the government truly wants to resolve this, the only solution is Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation,” he said.Meanwhile, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das also claimed, “Received intel: There are concerns that the situation could escalate into a much harsher crackdown over the coming days. But instead of relying primarily on police, authorities may use hired groups to provoke violence at and around Jantar Mantar and nearby protest sites by posing as protesters, potentially triggering clashes, stampedes, or other incidents. Such events could then be used to justify a large-scale security response and arrests.”About the AuthorAkriti AnandAkriti Anand is a Deputy Chief Content Producer at LiveMint.
