Left-wing student organisations and youth groups gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to protest against the recent police action on student demonstrators. Carrying placards and raising slogans, the protesters alleged that excessive force had been used during the crackdown and demanded that those responsible be held accountable.
During the demonstration, student leaders criticized the police action, stating that peaceful protests should be protected in a democratic society. They urged the government to respect citizens' right to peaceful assembly and demanded an impartial inquiry into the incidents that occurred during the recent demonstrations.
The protesters also called for the withdrawal of criminal cases filed against students and sought assurances that peaceful demonstrators would not face punitive action in the future. Several speakers emphasized the importance of safeguarding democratic rights and ensuring that students can voice their concerns without fear of intimidation.
The protest comes amid continuing political debate over the handling of recent student demonstrations. Opposition parties have also sought explanations from the government regarding the police response, making the issue a subject of discussion both inside and outside Parliament.
