BJP Calls for Jharkhand Bandh Over Police Action on Student Protesters

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called for a statewide bandh in Jharkhand following police action against students who were protesting in the state. The party’s demand comes after reports that law enforcement used force to disperse the student demonstrators. BJP leaders have urged citizens to observe a strike across the state to protest the police’s handling of the protests. The bandh, if carried out, could disrupt transport, commerce and public services in Jharkhand.
