India free of British, must now fight looters: SFI leader

A student leader named Kranti Kumari gave a speech in Kolkata.

She said India became free from British rule in 1947.

But she said people now have to fight for freedom from 'looters,' which means people who take things they should not.

She said she spent 40 days in jail for asking for a college in Nalanda, Bihar.

She said students from Bihar are not afraid to raise their voices for their rights.

She said students who protested about the NEET exam paper leak were treated badly by police.

She said the government talks about development, but some children do not have good schools and some villagers cannot afford two meals a day.

She said the Constitution gives people rights to education, food, shelter and clothing.

She also asked people to remember freedom fighters and leaders like Ambedkar and Savitribai Phule.

Her speech was part of a student programme and rally in Kolkata.
