In Bihar's Siwan district, AISA, RYA and other left-wing organisations staged protests at JP Chowk.
Former MLA and CPI(ML) leader Amarjeet Kushwaha, who was present during the protest, said, "Protest has been underway at Delhi's Jantar Mantar for the last 26 days. Students also came out on the streets of Patna on Wednesday. However, both in Delhi and in Patna, they faced brutal police action. Even women and girls were not spared." He alleged that the government has adopted a dictatorial approach towards handling protests.
