Rahul Gandhi questions Amit Shah's silence over student protest 'crime'

Rahul Gandhi questions Amit Shah's silence over student protest 'crime'
Rahul Gandhi questions Amit Shah’s silence, says he will have to answer for ‘crime’ - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

Some students in Delhi were upset because they believed their exam papers were leaked, which they thought was unfair.

They went to a place called Jantar Mantar to protest.

During the protest, the police used sticks and pellets, and some young people were hurt.

A leader named Rahul Gandhi says the person in charge of internal security, Amit Shah, should explain why that happened.

Rahul says Amit Shah has stayed quiet about it and must answer for it.

At a meeting in Prayagraj, a student told Rahul that after years of study and family sacrifice, he has no options left.

Because the two sides cannot agree, Parliament is stuck and most work is happening amid a lot of noise.

Some leaders say the government must speak in Parliament about the police action, while the government says the opposition cannot choose who speaks.

Rahul says he stands with the students with all his might.

“Amit Shahji, do not think for a moment that we will stop demanding accountability. Batons and pellets were used against young people on the streets of the capital – and you did not utter a single word. Sooner or later, you will have to answer for this crime.”
