Rahul Gandhi Demands Supreme Court Probe Into Student Brutality
Rahul Gandhi, a top opposition leader in India, said that police used harsh weapons like pellet guns and batons on students who were protesting.
He wants the Supreme Court to look into what happened and wants the Home Minister, Amit Shah, to be removed.
The ruling party says Rahul is lying and wants him to apologize.
Some of Rahul’s comments were taken out of Parliament, but he repeated them on social media and in the press.
The whole issue is about whether the police acted too harshly and who should be held responsible.
Rahul Gandhi demands a Supreme Court‑monitored probe into alleged police brutality during July 20 student protests.
He calls for the removal of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing him of ordering or being complicit in the crackdown.
The protest involved pellet guns and lathi charges against student demonstrators, including the Cockroach Janta Party march to Parliament.
The BJP rejects Gandhi’s allegations, labeling them a "bundle of lies" and demanding an apology for "misusing" the House.
Several of Gandhi’s remarks in Lok Sabha were expunged by the Speaker, but he reiterated them outside Parliament and on social media.
