The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday questioned Home Minister Amit Shah’s silence over alleged police brutalities against students protesting alleged paper leaks, saying Shah would have to answer for "this crime". Gandhi said a student told him at his Prayagraj event that he had "no options left". Parliament remains deadlocked as the opposition demands a statement from Shah in both Houses. Most legislative business has been conducted amid din. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Lok Sabha on Friday that the opposition cannot dictate which minister speaks.
The Indian Opinion
The Congress is right to demand an account of police conduct, but calling it a 'crime' before a full inquiry is premature and risks inflaming tensions. The BJP, for its part, cannot keep sidestepping parliamentary scrutiny by branding every demand a political stunt. The real test is simple: will Home Minister Amit Shah make a statement in Parliament this week, or will the stonewalling continue?
