A large number of students coming from different
districts of Bihar demonstrated before the CM
of the state in support of their demands on Wednesday. The All India Democratic
Students' Organisation had given a call to the students of the country to
observe 26th September, the birthday
of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, one of the pioneers of the Indian renaissance and
great educationist, as a protest day against making education a commodity of
high price. Responding the call the Bihar State Committee of the Organisation
took its pain to organise the students in thousands in the state capital.The
students gathered initially at Gandhi Maidan took out a huge procession which
went to R Block traversing Fraser Road, Dak Bungalow Crossing, Patna Junction
Roundabout, New Market and Mithapur. In their route the students were shouting
thunderous slogans against the anti education policies of the Centre and the
State Govenrments.
After barricading the way at R Block by the
police personnel a huge meeting was held which was addressed by Anil Kumar,
Secretary, AIDSO, Bihar State Committee, Raushan Kumar, Guddu Kumar, Ashutosh
Kumar, Lal Kumar, Saroj Kumar Suman, Pushpa Kumari and Pinki Kumari. The
meeting was presided over by Suryakar jitendra, Presidnt, AIDSO, Bihar State
Committee. In course of explaining the justification of their demands all the
student leaders felt the need of powerful sustained student movement against
the steepest fee hike, privatisation and commercialisation of education, bide
to conduct students' union election on undemocratic Lyngdoh Committee recommendations and
security to girls students.
Supporting their demands Arun Kumar Singh,
Senior Member, SUCI (Communist), Bihar State Committee said that the Nitish
Government was exposing by not providing education, job and security to its
citizens. The crime, rape, abduction, loot and corruption was the order of the
day. Terming the BJP-JDU state government as out and out anti people he
emphasized the need to initiate student's movement against the burning problems
of the students and the education.
Later a memorandum of 10 points charter of
demands was submitted to the Secretary of Education, Govt. of Bihar in the
absence of CM, Nitish Kumar.
