Rahul questions Shah over alleged firing at students 'NEET protest'

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday described Home Minister Amit Shah’s call for having a discussion on students’ protests as a “last-minute” attempt to fill gas in the BJP leader’s image “balloon” that had burst, and asserted that the youth want to know who ordered that protesting students be shot at with pellet guns.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said if Shah ordered that students be shot at, he is culpable, and if he did not, then he is incompetent, and in both



the cases he should resign.

Gandhi said Shah’s image “balloon” had been deflated and there was a last-ditch attempt to fill gas in it but “the balloon had burst”.

The Congress leader’s remarks came after Shah said the government is ready to discuss all issues in Parliament, including students’ protests.

He said if the Opposition gives it in writing before 2 pm to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, discussion can start at 3 pm today till 3 pm tomorrow.
