Ranchi Crackdown, Delhi Showdown: Opposition Demands Amit Shah's Resignation

Some students in the city of Ranchi were holding a protest.

Police used tear gas, water cannons and batons to stop them.

Far away in Delhi, the capital, some leaders who disagree with the government were very upset about this.

They asked the Home Minister, Amit Shah, who is a very important leader, to quit his job.

Another leader, Rahul Gandhi, argued with the Home Minister about it.

The government said it would explain what happened and was ready to give a clarification.

But the other leaders did not want to accept that explanation.

People who make the country's rules meet in a place called Parliament, and those meetings have been disrupted.

Some people are asking whether student protests are treated differently depending on where they happen.

The news reports do not tell us exactly why the students were protesting.
