‘Amit Shah gave firing order’ vs ‘No shots fired’: Rahul Gandhi, Centre in war of words as anti-paper leak bill passed

The Indian government and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi engaged in a heated exchange over allegations of police brutality during a student protest in Delhi on July 20. Gandhi accused Home Minister Amit Shah of ordering the use of pellet guns against protesters, while the government denied any bullets were fired, stating only tear gas was used. The dispute occurred during the passage of a new bill aimed at imposing stricter penalties for exam paper leaks. Five individuals claimed they were injured by pellets during the protest, though the government insists no firing took place. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju demanded an apology from Gandhi for making such allegations without evidence.
