Uddhav Thackeray backs student protests, calls for dialogue
Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), has come out in support of the ongoing student protests in New Delhi.
He believes that the government should engage in dialogue with the protesting students and that opposition parties should also talk to each other about the issue.
Thackeray met with Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), to show his support.
He criticized the government for not talking to the students despite the protest continuing for over a month.
Thackeray also condemned the police action against the protesters, especially the treatment of women and young girls.
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused the Congress of suppressing the CJP protest and acting as the BJP's 'B-Team', suggesting differences within the opposition over the student protests.
