Dear HP Govt., this dictatorship will end up creating armed rebels & Maoists, and then you’ll regret

SHIMLA- Take a closer look at the photo. Those are police boot prints, all over the body. This protestor, who had came to join the student protest in front of HP Assembly yesterday, wasn’t just beaten, but literally crushed under the boots by a herd of policemen, our own Shimla Police.

That reminds us of the British colonial rule. The Indian slaves received the same treatment then, and the condition is no better after Independence for common public. We know how disgusting our Govt. can be, but Himachal’s public had a respectable image of the police department, all the cops. Now, it’s gone. Shimla Police is no better than UP police.

To Shimla Police, Congress Govt. including the CM, HPU Vice Chancellor – all of you share a common trait. You all are scared of these students, your are scared of truth. Neither of you can face these educated students, so you try to suppress their voice using physical torture misusing state machinery

The pictures shows the concern of Govt. and the arrogant Shimla Policemen led by an incompetent SP, DW Negi. who is over-drunk with power vested in uniform and under the safety of Govt.’s patronage. Under his command his men have turned into savages.

The MLAs, none of them even tried to raise the issue of forced, unjustified fee hikes and failed implementation of the RUSA system in HPU and affiliated colleges. None of their representative raised the question in the ongoing Assembly Session as to why the report of review committee on fee hike is not made public even after six months of its submission. These students have been protesting over a year for their demands, and they were always answered with cane-charge, water cannons, arrests, torture within confined walls of police station, false cases, and literally trashed like animals.

Mr. Negi, you are encouraged by dumb public, scared of uniform and its own Govt. What law gave police the power to unleash such intolerable brutality on protestors when they have full right to express their unrest, their grievances? The public is above the constitution and Govt. itself. Govt. is meant to serve people, not rule them.
These students are asking for attention from over a year. They aren’t heard by those whom they had voted for to represent their interests. They have full right to protest wherever they want.

We are worried that you will end up grooming Maoists or rebels with guns in Himachal or cause a civil war if you continued to behave like tyrants. We will not blame these students if they took the path of armed protest. No matter how intense your terrorizing tactics are, you will regret insulting, hurting the dignity of individual citizens the day these helpless looking students took to violent response to deal with your police force.
