* Students, Pause and THINK! * [Santosh Subba] Dear students, I hear that youre going to continue so-called strike today too. I know it was WRONG to manhandle students on Day-I of your protest, but at the same time, I urge you all to think rationally that was there any need to pelt stones and block highway? I support your concern over steep fee hike but at the same time the method employed by you to stage protest was directly in conflict with the maintenance of law and order! I want you all to ponder over following facts and decide for yourselves whether you are surreptitiously misled into committing all these and youre being made a scapegoat - 1. Manhandling District Magistrate when he was negotiating with you 2. Thrashing DMs driver without being provoked 3. Vandalizing ADMs vehicle 4. Torching a vehicle 5. Circulation of rumours These are the actions unbecoming of our sincere, honest and peace loving students, which drives me to believe that students are being used to create law and order problem in the state, which at the same time will bring students a bad name. Rumours are being circulated that some students are serious but an inquiry in Manipal Hospital reveals otherwise. I request you all to keep yourselves from being instigated, provoked and misled. When your demands have been accepted and a probe into the alleged manhandling have been initiated, is there any logic to your continuing this protest or someone has an axe to grind here? It is for you to decide!!!
