India
The Jantar Mantar protests stirred up controversy. Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra stepped in to defend the police, explaining that lathicharge is meant to keep things under control, not to scare people.
The protests also saw some posts online targeting Prime Minister Modi, which the police flagged as objectionable.
