Protest in Washington Square Park against Mamata

The police along with ‘outsiders’ beat up and allegedly molested female students on the nights of 16th and 17th September at the Jadavpur University in Kolkata. Lights were turned off at the Aurobinda Bhavan so cameras could not capture the atrocities. The ones nbeaten and allegedly molested were students who were peacefully protesting against the inaction of University authorities in a molestation case that had occurred a week before. The next day, police refused to take complaints, despite victims waiting endlessly to exercise their constitutional right of filing an FIR.

“My objective is very simple. It is time to remind the Government that they are not supposed to rule us, but serve us.” Says H Singh, student of Calcutta University which is one of the seventy five odd institutes across the country that is part of this agitation. Agitations on the same issue have been taking place in Delhi and Bangalore. The Indian community in New York too is organizing a protest on the 25th of September at Washington Park Square. What will it take to bridge the gap between justice and denial?
