'Goli kahaan chali hai?': Rijiju says no one was harmed during CJP-led student protest, praises Delhi Police

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju firmly denied accusations of police brutality during the recently concluded student protests against the NEET-UG paper leak in Delhi. Speaking to ANI, he stated that no one was harmed, emphasizing that “not one person died or broke their bone or got seriously injured.” Rijiju praised the Delhi Police for handling the protests "so peacefully" and commended them for managing the situation despite the presence of "criminals" among the participants.

He also highlighted several individuals who attempted to incite violence, yet no casualties resulted. Rijiju claimed that more than half the participants, including those from various political parties, came to incite violence, but still, there were no deaths. He further contrasted the current protests with those during the Congress era, where many deaths had occurred.

Rijiju also denied the use of lathis and claimed that it was only when protesters began marching towards Parliament that the police intervened.
