Defending the police lathi charge on students’ protest, Janata Dal (U) MLA Gopal Mandal said the lathi-charge on students is justified as this is one of the ways of state machinery to curb the movement. He was speaking after police lathi-charged on the students over Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) question paper leak issue in Patna. Gopal said to ANI, "It’s bound to happen. Students must have staged violent demonstrations, so they were lathi-charged. Lathi-Charge, throwing plastic bullets, and spraying water canons are the few ways in which the state curbs the protest. Lathi-charge keeps happening. If the students keep on doing such protests, the examinations should be cancelled."
