The Story in Brief
Women who participated in student protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan are being subjected to online harassment including doxxing and cyberbullying, The Hindu reports. Readers writing to the paper condemned the intimidation and urged the government to act. Separately, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which led the protests, has threatened fresh protests if the terms of the agreement with the government are not met. The Union government has formed a high-level task force under Nandan Nilekani to address concerns in the education system.
The Indian Opinion
Some claim the harassment is justified to teach protesters a lesson, but the letters show democratic dissent is not lawlessness. Others dismiss the CJP's threat as empty, yet it reflects genuine frustration among students. The real test will be whether the government ensures transparent implementation of the task force's recommendations and protects citizens from online abuse.
