‘Why are lathis not used in political parties' protests?’: Dipke slams police action on Jharkhand student protesters
Abhijeet Dipke asserted that students are fighting for their rights and not for vote bank.
Dipke, the founder of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), expressed his outrage on Tuesday following the police's actions against students protesting in Ranchi. The students were protesting against alleged irregularities in recruitment exams in Jharkhand. Dipke claimed that this incident is a repeat of what happened in Delhi last month, where lathis and tear gas were used against agitating students during the Sansad Chalo march.
Dipke questioned why only students and young protesters are subjected to police crackdowns, while workers of political parties are not. He asserted that the students were fighting for their rights, not for a vote bank, and questioned why lathis and tear gas were not used against political parties protesting. The protest in Jharkhand was spearheaded by the CJP.
Dipke asserted that students are still facing police action despite fasting for nine days, just like Devendra Mahto, a leader of the agitation. He demanded that governments across the country should reconsider their actions towards students fighting for their future and not for any political gains.
