The Indian Youth Congress and leftist student organisations on Thursday organised protests over the irregularities in the examination for admission to undergraduate courses in medicine and other examinations, The Indian Express reported.

The Delhi Police, in response, halted the protests and detained many students, the newspaper added.

The Congress on social media claimed that members from its youth wing were “lathicharged and brutality was committed” during the protests.

It said that the “dictatorial [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi government, which destroyed the future of millions of youth of the country, could not tolerate this [the protests].”

The party added: “These police lathis will not be able to break our spirit. We will continue to fight for justice. The dictatorial government will have to bow before the truth.”
