Gen Z across the country is taking to the streets.
In Delhi, it is for education. In Arunachal Pradesh, it is to protect the forests, rivers and ecosystems that the Adi people have depended on for centuries.
From Delhi to Arunachal, the response has been the same: repression. In a chilling reminder of student protests in Delhi, tear gas has been fired at peaceful protesters in Arunachal Pradesh.
The Adi people are a religious and cultural minority whose beliefs and traditions are deeply rooted in the Siang River and adjoining forests they are protesting to protect against the proposed 11,000 MW dam in the Upper Siang region.
Since
@AmitShah is busy on thank you calls to Delhi Police, will Minister of Minority Affairs
@KirenRijiju kindly explain what he is doing to protect the minority rights of the Adi people in his home state?
