‘Either Culpable or Incompetent,’ Says Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi said there were only two possibilities regarding the incident.

“If he ordered it, he is culpable. If he did not know, then he is incompetent. In either case, he has to go.”

The Congress leader said this while referring to the alleged police action during the student demonstrations.

Alleges Students Were Brutalised During Protest

Referring to the demonstrations held at Jantar Mantar on July 20, Rahul Gandhi alleged that students who were peacefully questioning the government were brutally assaulted and shot with pellet guns.

According to Gandhi, the protesters were subjected to excessive police action despite conducting a peaceful demonstration.

Letter Sent to Amit Shah on July 25

Rahul Gandhi said that he had written to Amit Shah on July 25, seeking clarification on whether the use of pellet guns had been officially authorised.

He claimed that he had not received any response to the letter.

Accuses Government of Suppressing Dissent

Rahul Gandhi also accused the government of suppressing dissent.

He alleged that he was prevented from speaking in the Lok Sabha and was asked to apologise for his remarks against Amit Shah.

“I will never apologise to the BJP-RSS,” Gandhi asserted.

He said it was his responsibility to raise issues concerning students.

Claims Opposition Has Evidence

Rahul Gandhi promised justice for those allegedly assaulted during the protest.

He claimed that the Opposition had collected:

• Photographic evidence
• Video evidence

which allegedly identified police personnel involved in the crackdown.
