Dimple said the protesters appeared to be acting on their own, without outside support.
She also said the treatment of Sonam Wangchuk upset many people.
Protesters told the MPs that their clothes had been torn and that they had received electric shocks.
Dimple called the protest a “Sanjivani booti,” meaning something that could help the country.
Akhilesh Yadav said the Samajwadi Party had supported the movement from the beginning.
Dimple said the protest showed that people could challenge the BJP by working together.
