Protesting students caned, claims Kejriwal; police deny
New Delhi: AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that a group of students and teachers protesting at Jantar Mantar were lathicharged, but Delhi Police denied the accusation. Sharing the video of a news channel on X, the former chief minister alleged the students and teachers were protesting against the staff selection commission when they "faced" the police baton. "The country's youth are out on the streets, facing police batons, simply asking questions about their future. SSC exams have the power to change the lives of lakhs of youth, but when the entire process itself comes under suspicion, how can trust remain?" Kejriwal wrote in Hindi. "These lathis haven't just struck young bodies—they've struck at the hopes and dreams of an entire generation. The youth are now asking: how long will the system continue to mock our hard work? The govt will have to answer.
