Student leader attacked with ink during protest over exam irregularities in Jharkhand
Violence against a political activist during a protest raises concerns about suppression of dissent.
On Friday, Amarnath Pandey threw ink at Neha Bora, president of the All India Students' Association (AISA), during a protest march in Jharkhand over recruitment exam irregularities. Accused of being "anti-national," Pandey was detained and interrogated but no FIR has been filed yet. The CPI(ML)Liberation, AISA's parent organization, demanded police action against the incident, while BJP dismissed it as staged. Bora accused the BJP of orchestrating the attack in retaliation for her Delhi protest activities.
