Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge demanded Shah's resignation, questioned the use of force against students, and called the anti-paper leak bill insufficient, arguing it was introduced to pacify public anger rather than address systemic issues. He urged for transparent investigation and reforms to restore confidence in the education system.
