Shashi Tharoor criticises heavy police deployment at CJP protest

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has criticised the heavy police presence deployed during a Citizenship (Amendment) Act protest, terming it a 'war-like deployment' of law enforcement.

Tharoor expressed concern over the scale of policing at the demonstration, suggesting the response was disproportionate. He used the phrase 'Emer-GenZ' to highlight what he views as an excessive security posture aimed at young protesters.

The Congress leader argued that India's younger generation deserves a better approach to handling dissent and public demonstrations. His remarks reflect broader concerns within opposition circles about police tactics during protests against government policies.
