Tharoor Condemns Police Action on Student Protesters

Shashi Tharoor, a senior Congress leader, strongly criticized the government for using force against student protesters.

He visited the protest site at Jantar Mantar and heard painful testimonies from injured students.

Tharoor said the government's actions were shocking and that the students, who are the future of the country, have every right to protest peacefully.

He also condemned the police for dragging away opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, during a sit-in outside the prime minister's residence.

Tharoor believes the government is trying to hide its lack of accountability behind brutal police action.
