Protest in Guwahati demands resignation of Union Education Minister
A big group of people, including young students and even a 10-year-old with her grandmother, gathered in Guwahati to protest.
They want the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to step down.
They were chanting slogans like 'Inquilab zindabad' and 'Manipur long live'.
There were many police and security personnel around to keep things calm.
One of the protesters was a 22-year-old girl named Balo Yama, who skipped her classes to join the protest.
This was her first time ever being part of a protest.
Hundreds of protestors gathered in Guwahati demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The protest was held in solidarity with protests in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
Slogans included 'Inquilab zindabad', 'Dharmendra Pradhan must resign', 'Vande Mataram', and 'Manipur long live'.
Heavy deployment of police and CRPF was present at the protest site in Guwahati’s Chachal.
