Pinarayi Vijayan Says Support for Delhi Student Protest Is Growing

Opposition leader Pinarayi Vijayan said public support for the student protest in Delhi was increasing while the Union government was attempting to suppress the agitation. He strongly criticised the detention of Rahul Gandhi during the opposition protest. Vijayan’s remarks connected the police action against political leaders with the wider student movement over alleged examination irregularities. He maintained that efforts to control the protest had instead contributed to greater public attention and support.
