“To all the dear students, Tum logon ne dikhaya hai ke asli taakat kahan hai. books mein, pen mein, aur awaaz mein. Tumhara protest sirf ek exam ke against nahi, balki ek behtar, transparent, aur fair system ke liye hai. Har student deserve karta hai ki uski mehnat ka hisab ho, na ki kisi leak ya scam ka. Yeh ladai sahi hai, aur yeh zaroori hai. youth hi hamara future hai. Tum log frustrated ho sakte ho, thake hue ho sakte ho, lekin haar mat maanna. Apni baat peacefully rakho, apne haq ke liye ladte raho, lekin apne aap ko safe rakho. Desh ke leaders, authorities, aur hum sabko sunna chahiye students ki awaaz ko. Unki demands ko seriously lena chahiye, reforms laane chahiye, taaki aage se koi aur student aisa suffer na kare. Main tum sabke saath hoon, emotionally and morally…!!”
