Event Summary

Congress general secretary K. C. Venugopal shared a video clip purportedly showing the youths and alleged that the BJP was trying to give a different colour to the non-violent student movement.

Gandhi called for dialogue and peaceful protest. The Congress is part of the Hemant Sood government in India — Jharkhand.
