Election demands lead to lathi-charge on students
Jaipur: On Thursday, the police baton charged the student leaders protesting outside Rajasthan University demanding student union elections in the state. The student leaders were forcibly made to sit in a police van while being beaten with sticks and slapped.
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) was also supposed to join the protest, but before the protest, ABVP backed out. A large number of student leaders had gathered outside the university since 11 am. During this, there was an argument between Commerce College President Aditya Sharma and the police. After this, the police picked him up and made him sit in the jeep and took him into custody.
Reacting on the lathicharge, former CM Ashok Gehlot posted on X, “The use of force by the police on the students is highly condemnable. Government should answer It is unfortunate to suppress legitimate demand of the students by showing fear of policeadministration.”
