Rain continued as MP Chandrashekhar staged a sit-in protest outside the Parliament complex with his supporters. Referring to the recent developments and the alleged lathicharge, he criticised the central government and said, "The lathicharge reminded us of Jallianwala Bagh. When oppression increases, the sun of change will rise."
Despite the rain, Chandrashekhar and his supporters remained at the protest site. He said that peaceful protest is the right of every citizen in a democracy and that any attempt to suppress the voice of the people would be opposed through democratic means.
During the protest, Chandrashekhar said the recent developments had raised serious questions about democratic values. According to him, if attempts are made to suppress public voices through force, the protest would become ber. He also said that the struggle against injustice and oppression would continue.
Chandrashekhar demanded an impartial investigation into the alleged lathicharge. He said that if excessive force had been used during any protest, responsibility should be fixed. However, different parties have made their own claims regarding the incident, and varying political reactions have emerged.
Security arrangements remained tight outside Parliament. Police and security agencies maintained surveillance across the area to prevent any untoward incident. Supporters continued to remain at the protest site despite the rain.
Political reactions to the developments have also emerged. Opposition parties have issued statements supporting the protest, while the ruling side has also responded. The political exchanges have added to the atmosphere during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament.
The protest outside Parliament is continuing, and attention remains focused on the developments. The issue is expected to remain the subject of political debate both inside and outside Parliament in the coming period.
