Rahul Gandhi Seeks Accountability from Amit Shah over Police Action on Student Protests
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding accountability for police actions during the July 20 student protests in Delhi. Gandhi alleged excessive force, including the use of pellet guns, tear gas, and lathi charges, resulting in serious injuries to students and claims of assaults on women protesters. He questioned who authorized the use of lethal force and the deployment of plainclothes personnel. The protests, linked to demands for a fair education system and allegations of exam paper leaks, have intensified political pressure, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
