Massive Protests Erupt Across Bengal: DYFI Calls for Statewide Demonstration Against Police Brutality
West Bengal is witnessing an unprecedented wave of protests as the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has called for a massive statewide agitation. This follows the police's alleged violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrations by job seekers and victims of the SSC scam.
The protesters, numbering 25,753, are demanding justice for the widespread corruption in teacher recruitment. They seek the arrest of those responsible for orchestrating the scam and accountability from state authorities. The crackdown, including alleged baton charges, has triggered public outrage, with images and videos of police excesses circulating widely.
DYFI has announced a coordinated protest across Bengal on April 10, urging citizens to rise against corruption and police brutality. "This is not just a fight for jobs; it is a fight for justice, democracy, and the rights of the common people," said a DYFI leader.
The protests aim to pressure the government into action, demanding fair employment opportunities for teachers and strict punishment for those involved in the scam. All eyes are now on April 10, as Bengal braces for what could be a historic day of resistance.
