'Don't lie to children': Rahul slams Rijiju over 'no one harmed' claim

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju's claim that no one was harmed during recent student protests in Delhi. Rijiju praised the Delhi Police for managing the demonstrations without casualties or serious injuries. However, Rahul accused the government of ignoring the injuries and pain endured by the protesters, who included victims of pellet gun attacks and police brutality.

The opposition leader met with some of the injured protesters and alleged that videos of the police misconduct had been widely distributed. Rahul accused the Modi government of promulgating falsehoods and violence, accusing them of beating students with batons and then denying any wrongdoing. He also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their handling of the protests.

Rijiju, in response, pledged to protect student interests and vowed to take action against those responsible for leaking examination materials. He claimed that political parties like the Aam Aadmi Party, Bhim Army, and Samajwadi Party had participated in the demonstrations and incited violence. Despite this, he maintained that no casualties had occurred.
