Leaders from Opposition parties on Sunday condemned the Uttar Pradesh Police for baton-charging those who held peaceful protest in Lucknow over the alleged irregularities in the teacher recruitment process.
The protestors had held a candlelight march at a road junction near Chief Minister Adityanath’s home on Saturday over the alleged irregularities in the 2019 Uttar Pradesh Teachers’ Entrance Test that was held to recruit 69,000 assistant teachers.
