Three protestors, including two girls, were thrashed by the police as they showed black flags to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah while he was on road along with his cavalcade in Allahabad on Friday.
In a video, which now went viral, the two girls can be seen showing black flags as a mark of protest. Meanwhile, the police dragged them away, grabbed them by their hair, and beat them with lathis. All the three are reportedly in police custody now.

In a democratic country, it is not illegal to protest in front of a powerful politician. While the police manhandled the protestors, the BJP chief, sitting inside the car went away without even caring to hear why they were protesting. Is this the BJP’s model of beti bachao, beti padhao?
