On 20 June student-youth organizations held Akrosh marches (March of Anger) across the state on the issue of student-youth leaders and withdrawal of cases.
The leaders said that the whole country has rejected the Agnipath scheme, and yet the Modi government clings to its adamant attitude. Instead of revoking this scheme, it is resorting to repression against protesters. If the Nitish government is really against this scheme it should pass a Cabinet resolution to revoke the scheme, as other states have done. According to reports received so far, hundreds of cases have been filed against protesters and there have been arrests from many places. The movement cannot be crushed through repression.
Student-youth community held March of Anger on 20 June against repression let loose by the Nitish Government. Protests were held throughout Bihar.
RYA Bihar State Vice President and CPIML state committee member Tarique Anwar was arrested from his house by the Gaya Police at about 10 pm on 19 June. He has not been kept at the local Thana but taken to an unknown location by the police. He was told to be taken into preventive custody in view of the protest call of 20 June and will be release later. But in the evening of 20 June he was sent to jail after falsely implicating him in a case related to the railway recruitment agitation that had happened last year!
