Criticising the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led govt at the Centre, he said that the paper leak had broken the trust of students from the system, and no one in the power condemned the issue. Raising concerns over protests in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, he alleged that students demonstrating peacefully were subjected to force, and instead of addressing their demands, harsh measures were used against them. No minister came forward to engage with the students, he alleged.
