Kharge Criticizes Shah Over Absence, CJP Protest Crackdown
Mallikarjun Kharge, a senior Congress politician, spoke in the Rajya Sabha and asked why Home Minister Amit Shah was not in Parliament.
He said Shah was silent about police firing on protestors.
Kharge also said the new exam law was just a small change that wouldn't stop paper leaks.
BJP leaders said Kharge was being rude.
Kharge said the law was made only after student protests.
Mallikarjun Kharge questioned Amit Shah’s absence from Parliament during the anti‑paper leak bill debate.
Kharge accused Shah of silence over police crackdowns on the CJP protest, asking if his mouth was "stitched".
BJP leaders, including JP Nadda, called Kharge’s remarks unparliamentary and defended Shah.
Kharge slammed the Public Examinations Amendment Bill 2026 as an "eyewash" that fails to address paper leaks.
He claimed the bill was introduced only after student protests, suggesting the government bowed to student pressure.
