LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has voiced his opposition to the use of force against protesters, particularly young people, while commenting on reports of violence during a protest. Speaking to the media at Patna Airport, Paswan referred to videos circulating online that allegedly show some individuals who had come from outside assaulting protesters, including women.

Paswan made it clear that he has never supported violence and that his party has not endorsed the use of force. He reiterated his opposition to such measures, emphasising that his political stance has consistently been against the use of physical force.

However, he acknowledged that the police may have taken the decision under difficult circumstances. He suggested that the authorities might have believed there was no other way to bring the situation under control and that failing to do so could have led to further disorder.

Reaffirming his position, Paswan said he has never supported the use of force, particularly against young people. His remarks highlighted his opposition to violence while also offering a possible explanation for the circumstances in which the police may have decided to intervene.
