Let down by Dr Manmohan Singh & President Abdul Kalam Azad
Anti-quota students feel that at least educated leaders like Dr Manmohan Singh and President Abdul Kalam Azad would have gone for the merit and not reservation.
“We thought if not others, leaders like Singh and Kalam would have heeded our justifiable demands. But we are too disappointed to even think about the bill,” said a student from IIT.
The government’s decision to increasing the number of seats in the general category to balance the quota increase was not met with approval.
“The government doesn’t have the infrastructure to increase the number of seats in every college,” said Pravin, another student from IIT.
In the capital
Kapil Mishra, Sanjay Vats, Hemraj Singh from Delhi University and Deepak Thukral from from Bundelkhand University are to meet President Abdul Kalam Azad today at 2.45 pm today to discuss the issue.
They received a call from the president’s office after they had sent a letter to the President asking for mercy killing on Sunday.
Meanwhile, medical students in the capital are divided on their course of action.
While some of them think it is illogical to carry on the protest, others are determined to peacefully convince applicants to boycott the interview for the post of resident doctors in local medical colleges.
The interviews are being held to fill the post of the fired striking doctors.
