India’s Minister of Law and Justice, Kiren Rijiju, has refuted allegations of excessive force being used against Gen Z protestors. The statement directly addresses claims that authorities overreacted during recent demonstrations. Rijiju asserted that reports of widespread injuries are inaccurate, indicating the situation was largely managed without significant harm. He did not detail the nature of the protest itself, however. This response follows concerns raised by activists and opposition parties regarding police conduct. Further investigation may be needed to independently verify the extent of any injuries sustained by protestors. The government maintains its commitment to upholding the right to peaceful demonstration while ensuring public order.
