You will have to answer for this crime: Rahul to Shah on police 'brutalities' against students
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said a student told him during his "Chhatron ki Goonj" event in Prayagraj that he has "no options left now"
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Home Minister Amit Shah's silence on alleged police brutality against students protesting in Delhi on August 8, 2026. A student at Gandhi's event in Prayagraj revealed he had exhausted all options, saying "This is exactly what a student told me in Prayagraj yesterday. Years of preparation, selling the family land, parents burdened with debt and yet, nothing to show for it, अब मेरे पास कोई रास्ता नहीं बचा."
Gandhi's post highlighted the system's failure to reward the student's efforts, stating, "तेरह दिन हो गए - गृह... This is not his failure, it is the failure of a system that refused to reward his hard work."
Despite the students calling off their protest, Shah has remained silent on the Delhi Police's actions. Gandhi accused Modi of dispensing "forgiveness" instead of accountability, demanding Shah's response. The Congress leader emphasized students' role as the nation's light, vowing to fight for their rights and demand accountability.
