New Delhi: AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday, July 28, criticised the BJP over allegations that an AK-47 rifle was used to fire at a students’ protest in Siwan district of Bihar and said students should not be treated like terrorists.

A video purportedly showing a police constable using an AK-47 rifle during the student protest against alleged examination irregularities in Siwan on July 25 went viral on social media. The constable was suspended on Monday.

In a post on X, Kejriwal said, “What has gotten into the BJP? An AK-47 was used to fire at the students of Bihar. Are these students terrorists?”

आख़िर BJP को क्या हो गया है?

बिहार में हमारे छात्रों पर AK-47 से गोलियाँ चलाई गईं। क्या ये छात्र आतंकवादी हैं?

मैं मोदी-सम्राट को याद दिलाना चाहता हूँ- लोकनायक जयप्रकाश नारायण के नेतृत्व में बिहार की धरती से नारा लगा था –

“सिंहासन ख़ाली करो की जनता आती है”

कृपया छात्रों से…

“I would like to remind Emperor Modi that this slogan was raised on the land of Bihar under the leadership of Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan — ‘Vacate the throne, for the people are coming’.

“Please do not mess with the students,” the former Delhi chief minister said.

Siwan Superintendent of Police Puran Kumar Jha said on Monday that the constable, posted with the District Intelligence Unit, was suspended and departmental proceedings initiated against him after the video surfaced online.
