The ongoing student protests have become one of the biggest youth movements in the recent history. The issue has turned into a major political battle; Yuvraj Singh has kept himself away from politics. Instead, the legendary all-rounder focused on the future of students.
Yuvraj said that India's young generation deserves a safe and peaceful environment to study, grow, and achieve their dreams. The student protests have been taking place around Delhi's Jantar Mantar and Parliament Street, with the NEET paper leak creating anger among students.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, strict action over the exam controversy, better accountability in the education system, and stronger job opportunities for the youth.

However, the Narendra Modi-led Indian government didn’t hear their concerns and ordered the Delhi police to take heinous actions against the lakhs of students in Jantar Mantar. Delhi's famous Chhatrasal Stadium was turned into a holding area for people detained during the protests. Amid this, Danish Kaneria backs PM Modi amid Jantar Mantar protests.
The police's shocking actions were heavily criticised by the well-known personalities from sports and other fields. Amid all the tension, Yuvraj Singh shared a message on his Instagram story. He did not comment on any political issue or blame anyone.
Instead, the former Indian all-rounder said that every child, student, woman, and man should get the chance to study in peace, live safely, and follow their dreams without fear. He also urged everyone to come together and solve the issue through dialogue.
