Rahul Gandhi Accuses Amit Shah of Authorizing Student Shootings

Rahul Gandhi, a leader from the Congress party, accused Amit Shah, the Home Minister, of ordering the shooting of students during protests in Delhi.

Gandhi made these claims in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament.

He said that Shah either ordered the shooting or was incompetent for not knowing about it.

The government, however, defended Shah, stating that only a magistrate or a senior official can give such orders.

They also clarified that no shots were fired, only tear gas was used.

The protests were about the resignation of a former education minister.

The police and a central force are still investigating who gave the order to use pellet guns during the protests.
