TMC Seeks Rajya Sabha Discussion and Files UN Complaint on July 20 Police Actions
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has sought a Rajya Sabha discussion on alleged police actions during July 20 protests near Parliament, submitting a notice under Rule 267. TMC leader Saket Gokhale filed a complaint with the UN's Special Procedures mechanism, citing police brutality against peaceful demonstrators and journalists, and alleging internet shutdowns in central Delhi. The party has called for public submission of video evidence, while acknowledging that UN experts cannot compel the Indian government to act. Opposition members question when Parliament will address these concerns.
