Rahul Gandhi Condemns Police Action Against Protesting Students in Jharkhand

On Monday, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi condemned police force against students protesting in Ranchi, Jharkhand, urging the state government to resolve grievances through dialogue rather than violence.
Protesting students demanding institutional reforms breached barricades near the state assembly on Monday, prompting police to deploy water cannons, tear gas, and lathi-charges against the demonstrators.
The incident creates political pressure for the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government, as the Congress is a coalition partner, while the BJP questioned the Congress' stance on the police response.
Separately, AICC In-charge of Bihar Krishna Allavaru alleged police used AK-47s against students in Siwan, questioning whether Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary or Union Home Minister Amit Shah authorized such weapons.
Allavaru further criticized examination fees, noting students pay between ₹500 and ₹850 per test, arguing that if industrial groups receive 1,000 acres for ₹1 annually, recruitment fees should be similarly affordable.
