Gohil praised a comment by a Supreme Court judge who stated that students asking questions is not unconstitutional and should not be barred. He emphasized that a healthy democracy rests on the ability of citizens to challenge power. Gohil also voiced concern over reports of excessive force, such as water‑cannon blasts, electric batons and alleged misuse of pellet guns against demonstrators, urging authorities to avoid any intimidation of peaceful protestors.
