The walls outside Jantar Mantar have been painted over, erasing the marks of a recent protest.
“This is very symbolic as to how this entire place has been transformed overnight.”From the report
So by now you all have seen visuals of Jantar Mantar being cleared up but now we are going to show you how the very powerful marks of this protest have been erased overnight. Yes, we were here just yesterday morning and this wall was full of graffiti, was full of slogans, spray paintings that protesters had done and overnight this entire wall outside Jantar Mantar which is the wall of the Imperial Hotel in Connaught Place, it has been painted over. In fact, Vedant, we can smell the fresh paint here. This very wall, till yesterday, had slogans against the government, against the Delhi police. It had paintings of Mr. Sonam Vangchok and slogans supporting him. So all those marks of protest have been cleared up in just a few hours. Yes, and this entire wall, in fact, leading up to Jantar Mantar, has been painted overnight in just a few hours, like Priyanshi said. You know, graffiti is a very important kind of part of any protest, where people come and express themselves. Often, you know, slogans that would make people uncomfortable. powerful slogans bordering on being crude and being abusive at times as well and all these walls were painted with those slogans so this is very symbolic as well as to how this entire place has been transformed overnight you can't even tell that you had a protest here that really shook the nation that's scripted history and now there's also a symbol of how quote-unquote normalcy has been restored after protests that were extremely disruptive and they really caused the police and the entire state apparatus to kind of look at this zone with utmost caution. I would like to end this report with showing you these paint droppings that tell you how these marks of protest have been erased just in a few hours. We are showing you alongside visuals that we took just yesterday on this very road. On this entire footpath, in fact, protesters from across the country were sleeping and artists from across the country had lined this wall with art. And one last thing before we end is that, you know, this was called an insta revolution so everything is documented online so physically all of this may have been removed but it's all documented online forever
