'Detaining Activists Is Normal': JP Nadda Defends Police Crackdown On CJP Protesters

A heated exchange erupted in Parliament as BJP President and Leader of the House JP Nadda defended the police action against CJP protesters, saying that the detention of activists is "normal" during law-and-order situations. Responding to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's allegations of police brutality, Nadda recalled his own arrest during the Emergency, arguing that student activists must be prepared for police action. The debate comes amid Opposition demands for accountability over the July 20 crackdown on CJP protesters.
