Patna: These children probably know nothing about the Naxalite
movement, except that their schools in Aurangabad district have been
closed for some time now because of Naxals' frequent demands for money.
And that's reason enough for them to hit the streets in protest.
"Naxals
damage our school. We want to tell them not to snatch away our school
life and let us study,” said a student, Abhishek Rai.
These
students claim even teachers get ransom calls from Naxals. They say
their protests will continue till schools are allowed to function.
“The protests will continue till they let us study,” said another student, Anamika Kumari.
These
protests have been welcomed by the administration. “These children have
shown that they won’t suffer due to terrorism any longer,” said
Inspector Som Prakash.
They say pen is mightier than the sword, and these children have made their choice clear.
