Suryakumar Yadav's wife Devisha Shetty reposted a message on her Instagram Story carrying the headline "Violence isn't democracy." The post argued that once people resort to throwing stones, attacking police personnel, breaking barricades and damaging public property, they are no longer participating in a peaceful protest but are instead breaking the law.
"But Violence Isn't Democracy. The moment you. Throw stones. Attack police. Break barricades. Destroy public property. You're no longer protesting.. You're breaking the law," Suryakumar Yadav's wife posted on Instagram.
Jasprit Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan also shared an Instagram Story related to the CJP protest in Delhi. The post expressed concern over reports of children being exposed to tear gas, stating that if such an incident could happen to a six-year-old attending the protest, it could happen to anyone.
"If this can happen to a six-year-old sitting away from the protest, it can happen to anyone. No democracy should normalize children choking on tear gas. No peaceful citizen should have to fear the people meant to protect them," Jasprit Bumrah's wife posted.
