BJP state president Archana Gupta on Tuesday questioned the Congress party’s “silence” regarding the police crackdown on student protesters in Ranchi.
She alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi merely aimed to play politics at Jantar Mantar instead of genuinely caring about students in ally-governed states.
She clarified that she never called the protesters at Jantar Mantar as terrorists.
Addressing a press conference in Panipat, Gupta alleged that the opposition party used lies solely to disrupt parliamentary operations.
The BJP leader also hit out at the Jharkhand government for using force on the peaceful protesters.
When asked about her earlier statement regarding the Jantar Mantar protest, Gupta clarified that she never claimed that terrorists were present at the protest site.
“I never said there were terrorists at the protest site. But if you look at the Delhi Police report, there were more than 2,000 miscreants at the protest site, who have multiple serious cases against them. A Punjab police commissioner also highlighted how four youth aimed to disrupt the peaceful protest. Who were the people trying to create an atmosphere of fear and anarchy,” she asked.
