CJP Protest Core: Day 1 to Day 37 — What the Switch Team Saw on the Ground

[00:02] from where probably the biggest movement of this country in the last 12-13 years was launched. Finally, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Vaibhav is the judge. He said in his language that R is complete. So we have been

[00:16] covering this protest since the first day it started. And now that the stage is finally being destroyed. So we just want to talk to you about our experience and

[00:28] Garima came to the ground. Let me tell you about my experience on the first day. On the when I came here at 9:00 in the morning, one of my reels from that time went viral. I told him that brother, there are no people here. Where there are so many followers on Instagram.

[00:41] This entire area is lying vacant. IT SELF picked it up. It went viral and that day I am telling you that only content creators were visible here and I was worried as to how the CJP movement would move forward now? He was happy and

[00:54] many reels were also made here. I talked to many people here. That day Abhijeet came here with Deep and fainted before my eyes. Sonam Wangchuk came that day for 15 days. But Tarun, I would like to say one thing. That day, no one would have thought even in their dreams

[01:07] that the picture would be like this after about one and a half months from today. There will be so much crowd here. PM Modi will make a video and upload it at 12:01 in the night. Unimaginable. At

[01:19] least I had not thought that there would be a resignation and I also did not think that this movement would become so big at some point. Experience of the first day and my opinion at that time, the experience of the first day was basically

[01:33] that this was not a stage, gradually we saw development here and again it happened that there is a person by the name of Abhijeet Deep, the public had not even seen him, for the first time he was coming here directly from the airport, it was of expectation

[01:45] looks like this in his profile picture but a person is coming here from America, from Washington and the name of Cockroach Janata Party, so meme-mimifi content has been created but in reality these workers do not recognize each other. So there was

[01:59] anxiety at that time that what would happen brother? Protests started on social media. He also had more than 20 million followers on his pages. Were growing. But what will this look like in reality? It will become like this. This will be the outcome. Probably no one had thought of this. Right now,

[02:12] where we are standing on the stage. His first initial stage was installed in its corner put up. And I will tell you one more thing. Then even after these people sat here on the 20th, it did not happen that suddenly

[02:25] support came after that. Even after that, I am there and Abdul is with me. We both came here and felt sad to see this. Sona Mangchuk was lying here and there were a few young men, I am telling you there would be 400 people from here to there. So I thought that friend Sonam

[02:39] Mangchuk is on hunger strike. There are no people here. This entire turn took place till the day when these people, that is, the dates of Sonam Mangchuk's fast kept increasing. around the 18th day, yes, people wondered how that man was

[02:53] fasting like this, then it slowly started increasing and what we are seeing today, from here, I remember this day when I was standing here, I was when I was standing here, I was

[03:06] two days after that, it was the weekend when Sonam Mangchu was taken away from here in an ambulance, so that was the day and today is the day, after that, so many developments have happened, things have happened for CJP, some things have happened against CJP. The protest that will go on from this stage for

[03:21] 20 days, the protest of 20 March and 20 July, the Parliament March, CJP is not in the front line. I did n't know where you had gone. day of Parliament March, you were on the ground since morning. You covered everything. What

[03:36] 24th, when I reached at 7:30 in the morning. Was standing at a distance of 100 meters. It felt like a regular atmosphere. As usual, the crowd keeps coming shouting these slogans and this area was packed. The area where we were standing was crowded.

[03:51] But slowly as time passed brother, the crowd became so huge, so huge, the unimaginable Chandrashekhar came. Son Mangchu's wife Shabana Azmi came. Many big people came and

[04:03] strategy was to give a call at 9:00 that they would march. But slowly it became 12:00 and then Abhijeet along with the core team, who were big people, moved ahead in a truck towards the barricade and the tug of war started. I am on camera and

[04:17] Sumit is in front. Sumit was standing on a tyre. Two hundred meters ahead from here, at the front line, Abhijeet was at least there in his truck, on the front line. All the big faces were there on the front line. I saw with my own eyes that the first march inside was

[04:31] led by Chandrashekhar. When he moved forward quickly with his people, the police resorted to lathi charge. Later, allegations were made that there might have been current in the barricade. There was a lot. There was a lot of action inside. A tear gas van was parked in the corner. I

[04:45] saw him going out. I thought that brother would run it here. There is no way to escape from the stampede that will happen here. Three days were left. That van left. Till then Abhijeet was repeatedly appealing to open the barricade. Open the barricade. We are

[04:58] Gandhians. They are peaceful protesters. Let us go. Let us march to Parliament. felt that the protest was limited to this only. Our second team had arrived. These people had come. I have a road from here leading outside which is RBI Can Not Place.

[05:14] When I went on that road to the most posh area of ​​the country, I was horrified. It was not even part of my imagination that it could be a road intersection. Tear gas was being used on it. Lathi charge was going on. The barricades were broken. I said brother, you missed the action. I got a

[05:30] call from my colleague. He asked whether tear gas had been used? I said go here. The main protest site did not move. Then from there my car was parked towards the Press Club. By the time I

[05:42] reached the Press Club, these people had already arrived. These people will tell us about the further action. After that, what about the action evening. Hareem and I were together. The police shelling and stone belting that was

[05:55] also happening here at that time. I had never seen anything like this before. And I will tell you that day also, on the day of Parliament March, I came here at 7:00 in the evening and this entire area was empty. This entire stage was completely broken and we then made a reel to show what was happening? This

[06:07] movement is over, we felt that this has flopped, we had visuals of the entire Parliament march. The entire area was empty. The posters were lying wet. But what happened was at 9:00 pm, the organic crowd came again and it was all organic crowd.

[06:20] Vaibhav has also been beaten. Thank you for reminding me of those days. But yes, the situation was such that the police did not know who the protesters were and also showing him the media card in his hand. But even then the situation was such that it was difficult for people to control themselves

[06:35] and again this happened later on 20th that some of the miscreants, who are involved in it. But again, let me say that this crowd that has come, I would say, is 80 to 90% organic. 80% has been 110%

[06:48] people realized that the sentiments were not so high. Some people from the general crowd are also coming. Some family is also coming along. Different types of people are coming. People are coming from outside. So there was some tension that the matter was getting a little out of hand due to student suicide.

[07:03] of the education system is going on. I would like to say one thing in between. I also went to Mahakumbh and I also came here. I feel that there is more crowd here than Kumbh, Judge's Mahakumbh, my personal observation was that people are killed by FOMO, friend,

[07:18] if we do not put a photo on Instagram with the play card, we came here and I mean and did not put even a single reel, then how will we

[07:33] mean the stage is getting destroyed and it is over, only the We are also being evacuated. The carpet came off. And a classic thing happened with me that our boss had said that friends, you guys should reach there

[07:47] Garima will leave in the second half. She was supposed to reach around 5-6:00 pm. I thought I would rest for an hour. Went to sleep. Brother,

[08:01] our office group is filled with so many messages that it seems like spam. I asked Hori Bhai, brother, what happened? It was learnt that the carpet was cleaned from underneath. The tent vent installed here is getting cleared right at the back, that

[08:17] means the time given is that I think it should be completely empty by 9:30. You will have to jump down the stairs also. The ladder has been removed. [laughter] So you have to jump. This dismantling happens like this because see, in the PC that came, Sourav Das and in

[08:30] which JP Nadda was sitting on the stage, he had said that with immediate effect, tell the way I also read that the metro station and the metro facility have been free. Jain is being appeased. Here, eat the laddu and also eat the batasha. Now it's only you.

[08:43] Now go home as soon as possible so that this area gets cleared. The government also I want to say one more thing. Some people are joking that the government has bowed down , bowed down, bowed down. I want to say one thing. So, the arrogance is found only

[08:55] in dead people. Man knows how to bow down. So if someone has bowed down then we should I think what is bowing down in democracy? The meaning of democracy is that you elect a democratic government so that there is dialogue and a solution emerges from that dialogue.

[09:09] Otherwise, the violence that happened on the 20th, the violence that we saw on July 20, was unprecedented. It is earlier than I imagined. I have lived in Delhi for 16 years. I never thought that such a protest could happen in Central Delhi.

[09:23] and this protest in Central Delhi can culminate in the resignation of the Education Minister. Anna movement which became so famous through TV. One was the CJP movement which was a digital reel movement, reels, reels, reels, everyone has gone viral.

[09:38] tell me the best moment of this protest and then keep doing it. Now whatever happened for you in the last one and a quarter months, the best moment, I will say that when I say anything next, the first day was not the best moment. Subsequently, we have come and

[09:53] even before the joining of the Students Union, there were moments when people were joining organically and the best moment I have seen right now is when we came yesterday evening, that people are joining organically. Some aunty is giving me food. Someone has brought rajma rice from home.

[10:06] Someone is giving water. Some stranger is fanning you for 5 seconds without any reason. This social civic movement has started here. If this happens in the whole of Delhi that your pocket will be picked here , or something will happen. This was

[10:21] my best moment when the police beat Vaibhav with a stick thinking he was a protester and I fulfilled my duty as a friend. I ran to save my friend. So I think that was not the best. Many children have also been injured in this. But what happens in those

[10:35] you experience, what happened to the children? best experience was that I did not think that the that I did not think that the generation of judges who came after us would

[10:50] turn out to be such a solid generation. Along with this, our entire experience from the first day till now, when this stage is getting destroyed, brother is saying that now get down, so we rap from here and come down. This is splendor, this is dignity. I am Tarun and our entire team

[11:05] is behind Sumit. Here is Kaif. Camera person Kaif. Sumit, if you want to turn your side, this is our Sumit. So our entire team has honestly brought this entire protest to you without any manipulation,

[11:17] without any opinion. banner has been removed. So I would like you to show us once what the situation is on stage. get the crowd and the company in this video.

[11:32] remain with you. These will be the end visuals that we will probably be able to see ourselves. We will be able to visualize this. With this I think we end this video. These visuals are meant to sum up this entire protest. These are the visuals of this stage.

[11:46] Whatever stage it is, it will be destroyed today or tomorrow. It will end here on the stage and now there is no possibility of coming here tomorrow. Keep watching G Switch. Keep watching G Switch. Hmm.
