Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the NSUI have criticised the Bihar government over police action against students protesting alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. Gandhi said students were seeking answers on paper leaks, exam process delays, and that using force would not stop them. The NSUI accused police of targeting students while the real paper thieves remain free.
The protests in Patna saw students marching to the Chief Minister's residence. Police resorted to lathi charge and water cannons. Several police personnel were injured in stone-throwing. Students are demanding cancellation of the BPSC exam, a single-phase teacher recruitment exam, and an end to negative marking.
Gandhi alleged police used batons, water cannons, and even fired with an AK 47 in Siwan. The Bihar government has not yet commented on the allegations. The protests continue as students press for action on exam leaks.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The ABP Live report leads with Rahul Gandhi and NSUI's criticism, framing police action as targeting innocent students while exam thieves go free. The India TV report, labelled as opinion, presents the protests as disruptive, noting police were injured by stone-throwing, and argues not all student demands are justified. The key difference: ABP Live foregrounds government overreach, India TV foregrounds student overreach. Neither source presents the Bihar government's response, leaving the factual account of events and the extent of police force unverified. The next step is the government's official reply.
