Targeted the central government regarding lathi charge on students, said – old videos of protests should also be watched
Knews Desk- AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has launched a scathing attack on the central government over the clash between students and police during the Parliament march. Describing the police action taken during the student demonstration as wrong, he said that those who express their views democratically should not be treated like this.
While talking to the media on Tuesday, Owaisi said that the incidents that came to light during the Parliament march are worrying. He claimed that pictures and videos of use of force against protesters raise many questions. Owaisi said that such incidents have been seen during many movements in the country before, which should be discussed seriously.
Mentioned about CAA protests
Referring to the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Owaisi said that the events of that time should also be remembered. He said that many questions had been raised regarding the police action taken at Jamia Millia Islamia and the videos of that period are still a part of public record. According to him, the government should introspect on how to deal with the protests.
Questions raised on talks between government and students
Owaisi also reacted to the conversation between BJP president JP Nadda and protesting student leaders. He said that if the students had been agitating for a long time regarding their demands, the government should have started the dialogue earlier. According to him, if talks had taken place in time, the conflict could have been avoided.
The AIMIM chief said that anyone can understand the seriousness of the situation by watching the videos surfacing on social media. He also told that he has met some of the leaders and students involved in the protest and listened to their views. Owaisi appealed to the government to consider the demands of the students sensitively and adopt the path of dialogue.
