The student in the viral video while questioning Dhruv said, “Sir, do you think the administration of Thakur college is Democratic? They have confiscated the ID cards of students to ensure they attend this lecture. If they (college administration) can abuse us, anyone can abuse us on the international and national level”

In response, Thackeray and Yuva Sena (UBT) have raised their voice. Thackeray said, “The regime is sending out a message to the world daily, that they don’t wish the country to be a democracy anymore. Here, the IDs of the students were confiscated to force them to attend a talk by the son of a BJP candidate in North Mumbai, a day before their exams. Will the principal be suspended for such a horrible act?”
