People are not safe,&#8221; and urged the government to take action against those who entered the protest site without authorisation. &#8220;Those who went there without authorization should be punished by the government,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The remarks came amid a continuing political row over the police action during the student-led march from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament, organised to protest alleged irregularities in competitive examinations. <!-- -->The march was denied permission by Delhi Police and clashes broke out after protesters attempted to breach barricades.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Addressing that incident, responding to the Opposition, Nadda defended the police action, saying it was a standard law-and-order measure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;It was a very normal law and order situation that we have to understand.
