Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge has urged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah should explain in Parliament about the baton charge and pellet gun firing carried out on students who staged protests over the NEET exam question paper leak issue.
A meeting of leaders of the ‘INDI’ alliance parties was held on Monday at Mallikarjun Kharge’s office in the Parliament complex in Delhi.
Among those who attended the meeting were Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretaries Jairam Ramesh and K.C. Venugopal, Samajwadi Party senior leader Dharmendra Yadav, Trinamool Congress’s Mahua Moitra and Sagarika Ghose, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) senior leader Supriya Sule, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) senior leaders Sanjay Raut, and RSP party senior leader N.K. Premachandran.
At this meeting, it was decided that the INDIA alliance would put intense pressure on the central government over the Ayodhya Ram temple donation embezzlement issue and the issue of students who were attacked while protesting, demanding action in the NEET question paper leak case.
It was also urged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah should submit a statement in Parliament regarding the police attack on students who staged a protest in Delhi, and that Amit Shah should take responsibility for this issue and resign from office.
In a post published on the X social media platform after this meeting, Mallikarjun Kharge said, ‘The Union Home Minister should come to Parliament and explain about the baton charge and pellet gun firing on students. The Ayodhya Ram Temple trust is under the supervision of Prime Minister Modi. In that case, the Prime Minister should answer how the donations made by devotees to the temple were misappropriated’.
Jairam Ramesh attack
In a post on his X page, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “In order to avoid taking responsibility for the attacks carried out on students, Amit Shah has been continuously absent from the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
If the Central government insults Parliament like this, how can Parliament function? The Delhi Police, the CRPF, and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah all come under his control.
They themselves have attacked the students who were protesting in Delhi. Amit Shah is refusing to explain who ordered CRPF personnel to fire pellet guns at the students,” he said.
