New Delhi: Debate over the alleged police brutality on protesters at Jantar Mantar continued to rock Parliament on Wednesday, July 29.
In the Rajya Sabha, while the Opposition insisted on a response from the Home Minister, Congress president Mallikarjuna Kharge alleged that “Those who hit students are roaming free.”
Responding to Kharge, senior BJP leader and Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda said that the Delhi Police action was to “maintain law and order”.
Accusing the Opposition of ‘politicising and sensationalising’ the police action, Nadda maintained that the police crackdown on student protesters during the Parliament March on July 20 was a “normal law and order situation”.
Congress president and Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday accused the Centre of undermining democracy and public safety in the Rajya Sabha, saying, "Democracy is not safe, people are not safe."
