Protesting against the lathicharge against students from North Eastern States here on Friday, CPI(M) MP MB Rajesh has decided to move a privilege motion against the Central Reserve Police Force and the Delhi Police in Parliament on Monday.

Rajesh and CPI MP in Rajya Sabha M.P. Achuthan were taken into custody by the Police for protesting the lathicharge.

Rajesh said the police action was against the unanimous resolution in Parliament. “Parliament had unanimously resolved against the attacks on North Eastern students in Delhi. A day after, we witnessed a brutal attack against them in front of Parliament House,” Rajesh said.

He said came out of his flat at the Vittal Bhai Patel House in Rafi Marg here after seeing the students, including girls, were being beaten up by the Police. “We were told by the students that Police sexually assaulted the girl students. We have demanded strict action against erring officers. Cases registered against the students, who were protesting peacefully, should be immediately withdrawn,” Rajesh told Business Line.
