Praises Students for Their Courage
In his message, Salman applauded the students for choosing a peaceful path to raise their voices.
He said the movement reflected the dedication, sincerity, and determination of a generation that wants to work hard and build a better future.
The actor expressed confidence that today’s youth would make India proud because of their commitment to education and positive change.
‘Don’t Politicise the Movement’
Salman Khan also appealed to people not to turn the students’ movement into a political issue.
He said the protest belongs to the students and their fight for a better education system, and therefore the credit should remain with them.
Expressing faith in the government, Salman said he believes authorities will support students and take steps to strengthen the education system.
He described the situation as one where everyone can benefit if constructive decisions are taken.
Education Should Become India’s Biggest Trend
Ending his note on an optimistic note, Salman said he hopes education becomes the country’s biggest aspiration.
He wrote that studying should become the next major trend and even more fashionable with every passing year, adding that he dreams of a future where students from around the world come to India for education, making the country a global educational hub.
Protests Continue Over Education Issues
The student movement has been ongoing over allegations of irregularities in competitive examinations, including claims of paper leaks.
The protests intensified earlier this week when the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organized a “Chalo Sansad” march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament.
According to Delhi Police, protesters violated prohibitory orders and refused to disperse despite repeated warnings, prompting police action.
However, protesters alleged that security personnel used excessive force, including lathicharge and tear gas, and claimed that several demonstrators were injured during the incident.
The issue has since drawn national attention, with several actors, musicians, and public figures expressing concern and extending support to students demanding accountability and education reforms.
With Salman Khan now joining the conversation, another prominent voice from the film industry has called for dialogue, peaceful resolution, and meaningful reforms to protect the future of students.
