Activist Anna Hazare has sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising worries about recent violence during demonstrations in Delhi and calling for greater focus on talks and responsibility. Hazare described accounts of clashes and police response as distressing and noted that harm to public assets along with excessive force must be prevented in a democratic setting. He linked youth unrest over exam paper leaks, hiring postponements and joblessness to broader societal problems rather than treating it solely as a security matter. Hazare pointed to the NEET leak dispute and claimed irregularities, observing that students and families have sought answers through demonstrations. He also faulted the removal of activist Sonam Wangchuk from a protest location and said authorities should have pursued conversation first. Hazare recommended that the central government meet with demonstrators, hear their issues and settle matters via discussion instead of conflict. (Inputs from Omkar Wable)
