Opposition Criticizes Haryana Government Over Police Action on Protesters
Opposition leaders in Haryana, including former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and INLD's Abhay Chautala, have condemned police lathi-charges on protesters in Hansi and Ambala, accusing the BJP-led state government of mishandling law and order and suppressing public dissent. Hooda announced a Congress protest on August 19 demanding regularisation of Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam employees and guest teachers' rights. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha also called for police accountability, while opposition parties urged dialogue with farmers and criticized government inaction on related incidents.
