"The clash could have been averted had government made elaborate arrangement for the demonstration. No one can held responsible such incident as it happens due to a large crowd," Naik said.
He made these observations while speaking on the sidelines of an event here.
Sixteen policemen and administrative personnel were yesterday injured when a demonstration of BP ED Sangharsh Committee members, demanding government jobs in primary and secondary schools, turned violent.
Police used lathis, tear gas shells and water cannons to control the protesters, who also damaged several vehicles and set government cars on fire outside the state Assembly.
