Educator and YouTuber Faizal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, was released from Patna's Gardanibagh Police Station on Friday after being in detention. He was detained for joining the protesting Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants in Patna, demanding change in exam patterns and the normalisation process.

Earlier on Friday, Khan Sir, backing the students, also spoke to the media amid the ongoing protest and said those protesting have nothing to do with politics and would stand with those who will listen to their demands.

"Only a week is left. How unfortunate is it that we need to protest for our demand on the land of Chanakya and that too, just one week before the examinations. We want the president (of BPSC) to say that there will be no normalisation the examinations will be held in one shift and one paper will be given to all the students. We don't have personal qualms with anyone. The process can be good, but the person implementing it should also be good. Can they assure us that? We will not move from here until normalisation is assured to be removed," Khan sir told reporters earlier.

"We request the police administration to understand that your children are also studying here. We also teach them. We believe in the Constitution. That's why we are not protesting on the streets. We reached the Dharna-sthal (protesting site) to protest constitutionally. We will make sure that the normalisation (process) is cancelled. We don't have any expectations from BPSC. We have hopes from the government. We have nothing to do with politics. We will stand with those who will listen to our demands," he added.

He further stressed that if the time of students is wasted, they should be given extra time, and an extension should be given on the exam date.

The students have been protesting against the change in exam patterns and the normalisation process. The protesting students are demanding that exams be held in 'One Shift and One paper' to avoid the normalisation process.
