Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding accountability over the police action against students protesting in Delhi on July 20, raising questions over the alleged use of pellet guns and the deployment of plain-clothed personnel during the crackdown.
The letter comes amid escalating political protests over the alleged irregularities in the Common Job Preliminary (CJP) examination. Student organisations have been staging demonstrations demanding the cancellation of the examination and a fresh test. The issue intensified after a Sansad March earlier this week, while Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Friday amid mounting political pressure over the controversy.
