Rahul Gandhi's Strong Allegations Against Amit Shah

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has escalated his criticism of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. During a protest march to Parliament on July 20, he reiterated accusations regarding police actions against students. Gandhi has called for Shah's resignation and demanded an investigation into the incident under the supervision of the Supreme Court. In a social media post, he questioned why Amit Shah is afraid to address the brutal violence against students in Parliament, suggesting it indicates his guilt.

Call for Independent Inquiry

Earlier, Gandhi emphasized that students deserve justice. He proposed the formation of an independent, high-level committee to investigate the brutality faced by students, under the Supreme Court's oversight. During a press conference in New Delhi, he accused the police of excessive force against students, asserting that either Shah ordered the police action or was completely unaware of it. He reiterated the need to hold those responsible accountable.

Protests in Parliament

This demand arose following a protest by opposition MPs at the Makar Dwar in Parliament on Thursday. They raised issues regarding the alleged police actions against student demonstrators and accusations of financial misconduct related to donations for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Members of the 'INDIA' coalition gathered around 10:30 AM, holding placards questioning who ordered the police action during the protest at Jantar Mantar on July 20. They chanted slogans demanding accountability from the central government regarding police brutality against students and financial irregularities related to the temple donations.

Political Reactions and Legislative Discussions

The protest occurred just hours before the Rajya Sabha was set to discuss the 'Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026.' Earlier, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Syed Nasir criticized the absence of Home Minister Amit Shah during the debate, emphasizing that the Delhi Police operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs, thus making it Shah's responsibility to answer questions related to police operations.
