Why does Peek TV cover the Kokoro Janta Party protests so relentlessly? That's a question a lot of you have been asking and I thought I'd address that today. It's because you have a renowned educationist, a world-renowned scientist, who is sitting here in the heart of Delhi for the past one week, demanding accountability from the government. He's not just demanding the Education Minister's resignation, but calling for responsibility to be fixed for the 15 plus students who have died by suicide because of a criminal negligence on the part of the system. It's been a week since this man who has received honours like a Damon Magisessor Award has been sitting here and demanding answers from the government, demanding accountability. His health has been deteriorating. In fact, today as well, his vitals were significantly below normal. He doing all this so that the government responds to the concerns which are not just of these people who have gathered here These concerns are of the million plus students the millions of students who sit for competitive exams who are primary stakeholders of our education system The government has continued to antagonise these protesters. In fact, you had the BJP president call upon his party workers to act against what he described as a virus threatening the integrity of the country. And the more the government antagonises these voices here, Stronger is the impression of a complete disconnect between the authorities and what the masses feel, the kind of disenchantment the students feel. We cover this protest no matter how big or small the crowd is because mainstream media has completely blacked out this protest. And it is the job of the media, of journalists like us, to show you that these people are still here raving the heat, rain for a better education system. You may argue that these people have a political agenda, you may argue that these people are politically motivated, but there are genuine students who are coming here demanding answers from the government. And these people deserve space in mainstream schools.
