Members of the Indian Youth Congress staged a protest outside the BJP office on Monday, demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the alleged use of pellet guns during the ongoing student agitation. The protesters raised slogans against the Union government and accused it of using excessive force against students.
The Youth Congress alleged that the use of pellet guns against protesters was unacceptable and held Shah responsible. The demonstration comes amid continuing political tensions over the student agitation, with the Opposition targeting the government's response.
The BJP and the Union government have yet to respond to the demand for Shah's resignation.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The protest marks an escalation in opposition tactics over the student agitation, which has seen sustained demonstrations across several states. Pellet guns cause severe eye injuries and have been criticised by human rights bodies, the Supreme Court in 2017 directed the Jammu and Kashmir administration to use them only as a last resort. The Youth Congress demand for the Home Minister's resignation is largely symbolic, as the BJP holds a majority in Lok Sabha. The next flashpoint will be whether the government offers any concessions to the protesting students before the winter session of Parliament.
