What happened
Aam Aadmi Party leaders have criticised the BJP-led Delhi Police for using force against students protesting at Delhi University. The party has called the police response excessive and politically motivated.
The Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the police were trying to suppress student dissent. The party says the students were raising concerns linked to campus conditions and harassment.
Why this matters for UPSC
The issue sits at the intersection of public order, civil liberties, and campus politics. It can be used to discuss the constitutional protection of peaceful protest and the need for proportionate policing.
