Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Hundreds of students gathered in Bhopal on Friday evening, to show solidarity with the protest at Jantar Matar in Delhi.
They staged a peaceful demonstration at the Board Office Square in Bhopal, and raised humorous and satirical slogans against the NEET paper leak, demanding a better education system in the country, asserting resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The protesters not only maintained non-violence but also distributed Melody toffees at the protest site. Some protesters were also seen carrying red roses as a symbol of peace.
GenZ gets creative with protest
While the agenda of the protest remains extremely serious, involving the NEET paper leak and the deteriorating education system in India, the GenZ protesters brought not just their strength but also their creativity to the movement.
Unlike traditional methods, including strikes, rallies and burning effigies, the GenZ protesters chose to create light-hearted but effective slogans, distribute toffees and even carry flowers.
Slogans such as “Gandhi ji ko revive karo” and “Agli baar educated sarkar” were also heard at the site.
