'No one interested in Shah's opinion, want to know who ordered firing': Rahul on Jantar Mantar chaos

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his recent speech, stating that the country is not interested in his opinions. Gandhi specifically demanded a statement from Shah regarding the alleged firing of pellet guns during a student protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. He questioned who authorized the firing and if Shah did not order it, then who in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) did?

Gandhi emphasized that Shah either ordered the firing, making him guilty of harming students, or he was unaware of the incident, making him incompetent. Either way, Gandhi argued, Shah should take responsibility.

The government proposed holding a discussion on student protests in Lok Sabha. However, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi accused the government of running away from answering questions and spreading chaos. He accused the government of shifting goals daily, from demanding a discussion on NEET to the Ram Mandir Trust, and now the Jantar Mantar incident.

Gandhi claimed the government wanted to prevent the House from functioning, disrupting proceedings for the past 15 days while calling for a discussion on the Jantar Mantar issue.
