The Shiv Sena on Thursday targeted the Modi government over Delhi police’s “inhuman†lathicharge on JNU students, including those challenged visually, during a protest against hostel fee hike, saying no government should run amok in this manner. The Sena, engaged in talks with Congress and NCP to form a coalition government in Maharashtra, said the ruling BJP would have created a ruckus in Parliament had such action against students been taken during the Grand Old Party’s rule.
JNU students took out the march carrying banners which read ‘save public education’, ‘fees must fall’ and ‘ensure affordable hostels for all’.
