Kharge’s ‘will drag you out’ remark at Shah sparks fresh face-off in House, he then clarifies

In the Indian Parliament, Congress MP Mallikarjun Kharge criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for alleged police brutality during the Jantar Mantar protests against the NEET paper leak on July 20. Kharge accused Shah of being responsible for injuries sustained by protesters, including students, and claimed that 'janshakti' (people's power) would eventually bring Shah to account. His remarks sparked controversy, with BJP member JP Nadda objecting to what he called 'unparliamentary' language. Kharge later clarified that his statement referred to collective public action rather than direct confrontation. Meanwhile, the opposition accused Shah of authorizing the use of pellet guns against protesters, while the government denied these claims, stating no bullets were fired and only tear gas was used. These tensions occurred amid debates on a new bill aimed at tightening penalties for exam-related misconduct.
