Let us all stand against injustice

In the wee hours of noon, when all of us were in our respective classrooms, a sudden noise broke out and diverted our attentions.

Rushing down, we saw girls standing in front of the principal’s office and taking out a procession. There slogan was ‘we want justice’…..justice for Shivani, a first year student who was slapped by two teachers just because she was using her cell phone.

No doubt it’s mentioned in the prospectus that the use of mobiles is prohibited in the college, but that doesn’t mean the teachers get down to physical abuse.

Humiliated, all in tears, poor Shivani rushed to her friends for support, whose admission form had been cancelled too by the principal. Despite of taking any serious step against the two teachers who brutally slapped the poor female, the principal started threatening the girl.

The two teachers even went to the extent of saying that if Shivani reports anything to the principal, then they will make false reports of her being pregnant.

Teachers, who have held our hands from the very first day we entered college, guided us through out…laughed with us, celebrated with us…I wonder how can they raise their hands on us and that too for such a petty thing.

The strike grew bigger and bigger with every passing second and we witnessed the whole college downstairs. The teachers and members of the council were trying to control the girls, but did not succeed. The principal too kept asking the girls to cool down in order to settle the matter, but failed in her effort to do so.

That was not the end of it. Soon the media people arrived and the strike grew BIG. The whole mob rushed out of the college gates and started protesting… horns from the kinetics, girls shouting from all corners, police men trying to control the traffic, was the site outside MC-DAV college, Chandigarh.

I am a student of the college, but I would like to stand against injustice. And I am sure that all you GenXians too will support us in our mission.

At these high times when the college left us, slapped one of those several beautiful cute angels…this is not fair…this brutal act must be met with an impetuous action…. and that’s STRIKE….all of you join us tomorrow at 8:30 am outside MCM…to show the authorities that they can’t take us for a ride.

And for all of you outside Chandigarh or who can’t make it to the strike, are most welcome to send their comments regarding this cruel act of the teachers on GenX.
