In a post on X, Thackeray said when the world sees images of the police brutality by the regime against a peaceful protest march, it will realise that India is no longer a democracy but captured by a regime.
“When a brutal regime points guns towards young Indians who are asking for a better education system, you know that the regime is anti- India,” he said.
When the world sees reports of the regime refusing to acknowledge systemic failures in education, and instead of asking a minister to interact with young Indians, it will realise that the government has transformed into a dictatorship, he said.
The former Maharashtra minister said ironically, when the BJP protested with social activist Anna Hazare more than a decade ago, the Congress government at least had deployed senior ministers for talks. It was not so brutal and vindictive, Thackeray added.
“I know this is a far shot, but does nobody in the ruling regime have interest in education? Do they not have friends/ family stuck in this rotten system? “Change the system and change the incompetent minister Pradhan who couldn’t manage his department! That is all that @Wangchuk66 and @abhijeet_dipke and all of us as young Indians are asking for!” Thackeray said.
