Lalu calls for march to Lok Bhavan on Aug 19 against state govt's 'dictatorial attitude'
RJD's national working president and Lalu's son, Tejashwi, had said Mahagathbandhan leaders would submit a memorandum to the Governor over the Siwan incident.
RJD leader Lalu Prasad has urged his supporters to march to the Lok Bhavan on August 19 to protest against the authoritarian behavior of the state government. The opposition party claims that the government responds to democratic demands with the use of AK-47 gunfire. The Mahagathbandhan alliance members will join the march and present a memorandum to the governor regarding the alleged AK-47 firing against students in Siwan district last month.
A police constable was suspended after a video surfaced showing him using an AK-47 during a student protest in July. The police had stated that no one was injured during the incident, and an inquiry was launched, as there were strict orders against police firing during demonstrations. Prasad criticized the BJP-led government for its corruption, exploitation, and lack of response to student concerns.
He urged everyone to unite in Patna on August 19 to oppose the alleged dictatorship of the state government.
