Kharge Demands Amit Shah Resign Over Student Crackdown
Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of the opposition in India’s upper house, said the government used force against students who were protesting.
He said the police used batons and pellet guns and then filed complaints against the students after they stopped protesting.
Kharge also said the government blocked their social media accounts and even doxxed some young women.
He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make the Home Minister, Amit Shah, resign.
Kharge wants a court‑monitored investigation to look into what happened.
Mallikarjun Kharge demanded Home Minister Amit Shah resign over alleged police action against students.
Kharge accused the Centre of filing FIRs and detaining students after they withdrew protests, calling it a vendetta.
He cited use of batons, pellet guns, and social media blocking, including doxxing of young women, as evidence of government crackdown.
