24th MAY - PROTESTS INTENSIFY

¨       Burdwan Medical College students continued their hunger strike. Five students collapsed during the hunger strike and needed medical attention.

 

¨       Protesters from Calcutta National Medical College, Dr. Rafi Ahmed Dental College, Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences, NRS Medical College, Presidency College and Indian Statistical Institute blocked Bridge No. 4 connecting Park Circus with the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.

 

¨       There was total cessation of work at North Bengal Medical College with even the main gate of the campus remaining locked.

 

¨       Students of Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences set up a roadblock on Barrackpore Trunk Road from 10am to 1pm. During the protest, a military truck tried to force its way through the blockade before ten students positioned themselves in front of the truck and dared the driver to pass on “over their dead bodies”. This brave act impressed the military personnel who gave up the idea of forcing their way through the blockade.

 

¨       Students and doctors from RG Kar Medical College organised a sitting demonstration in protest from 12pm to 2pm. Then, along with students and doctors from Calcutta Medical College, they blocked the intersection of Chittaranjan Avenue and B.B. Ganguly Street for over two hours. After that, the protesters marched back to Calcutta Medical College via Chittaranjan Avenue.

 

¨       In Bankura Sammilani Medical College, the relay hunger strike was continued today also.

Despite our protest government brought the bill for reservation, why because our protest in not having complete support from the masses.
I think we should start
"Non-Violent Non Co-operation Movement"
I have following ideas for it.
1.Avoid use of all kind of Public Transport- We have to convince people not to use any public transport such as buses, trains. People who are going for summer vacation/holiday should be requested to cancel there journey. All office goers should not use any city bus.If they have not vehicle available, then they can ask for help to their friends.If they can not strike like us atleast they can do us this favours.Also people should stay awaya from
2.No-phone day-Please switch of your mobile whole day-no sms,no ring tone down loads-no mms.As we can not ask private telecom operator to shut down their services.Only youth for equality people keep atleast 10 lines for queries. All people should be requested keep their mobile of all days-especially working in govrnment/public secotr.For People working in private comapanies can communicate to their collegues directly, no matter they are working in MNC or some small comapanies, their office won't be bigger than multi storeyed building-especially who are working in software comapnies.They can ask their HR to enable Messenger so they can communicate to team member/TL/PM directly.We can't request them to go on strike as it will send wrong message to world outside.
3. No banking days- We shold ask bank employee for our support.If they cann't go on stike,we shold request people to suspend all their banking related work.
4.No admission anywhere till our demands are accepted- we should request student for not taking admission in any college school.student should also be refrained for appearing any exam.not by force ,but by request and choice only.
5. also there could be No recriutment day.-plz don't attend any walk-in,intervies.
6.We should request all india traders association to go on stike with us.shut down all operation.ya we know they will have loss, but for loss of few days can be gain for coming generations.also if goverment acts on bill they have to pay taxes also, of course 8000 crore rupees politician won't pay from their pockets.people have to bear this tax also.
7. people should switch of light every day for 2 hours in beiginning as part of protest. all india complete black out.
8. Keep continue wearing white shirts as justice and democracy are dead-we want to show our condolence.

How is the idea guys.if you are ready we can start it from monday, after all we haveto publish it in all national newspapers.Till then i am using my brain and hope u will also use it for-what else could be done as a part of Non-Coperation movements.I am sure we can do it provided we are united. we have to iclude people from all spheres.
After all we are answerable for coming generations.

And we have one great reason to care above everything -Our great loving Nation India.
I request you to keep it totaly Non-violent otherwise people will loose faith in us.

Your frnd-

sunny
