IndiaRahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in India, has called for the removal of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing him of authorizing brutal tactics against students during protests in Delhi on July 20. Gandhi claimed that Shah either ordered the use of pellet guns, lathis with nails, and electric batons against protesters or failed to control the situation, making him either incompetent or culpable. The protests, initially sparked by demands for the resignation of exam authorities, escalated after the police forcefully detained activist Sonam Wangchuk. During the crackdown, dozens were injured as police used riot-control measures, including pellet guns. While the Delhi Police later denied using pellet guns, reports indicated they were part of the Rapid Action Force’s equipment. The incident intensified the nationwide agitation, prompting Gandhi to demand a Supreme Court-monitored inquiry into the violence.
