BJP's War on Youth: A Vendetta or a Tactic? The Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has accused the government of pursuing a "vendetta" against students, following the filing of FIRs against student protesters.
This claim is not unfounded, as the government had earlier assured students that no action would be taken against them during the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' protest.
However, the government backtracked on its word and filed FIRs, detaining students in a manner that suggests an intent to intimidate.
