Supreme Court Urges Restraint and Counselling in Handling Student Protests
The Supreme Court of India emphasized the need for law enforcement to exercise restraint during protests, particularly those led by students linked to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Chief Justice Surya Kant urged authorities to counsel and pacify youngsters, even if some engage in stone-pelting, warning that aggressive responses could escalate violence. The court agreed to hear a plea seeking action against protest organisers accused of inciting violence during the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march, while stressing the importance of listening to protesters to address their grievances peacefully.
