In a direct attack Rahul Gandhi  has demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that the Home Ministry was responsible for the police action against students during their peaceful  protest.

Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said, “Home Minister Amit Shah must go. This is the man who beat you (protesting students), humiliated you.” Referring to his speech in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi said he had been asked to apologise but refused to do so.

“I was asked to apologise but I will never ever apologise to the BJP, RSS or any other person,” he said.

Gandhi also alleged that all actions taken by the security forces were linked to the home ministry and asked who gave the order to use pellet guns.

He further alleged that either the home minister directly ordered the crackdown or was aware of it, claiming that police used lathis fitted with nails and pellet guns against protesting students.
“There can be two possible scenarios. One is that the Home Minister issued the order. The second is that the Home Minister was unaware that firing would take place. In the first case, he is culpable; in the second, he is incompetent — it has to be one of the two; there is no third possibility.

“If the Home Minister didn’t even know that shots were being fired, it means he is incompetent; otherwise, if he ordered it, he is culpable.”

On his speech in the House, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi said , “He (Union HM Amit Shah) hasn’t even come to the House. Why isn’t he coming? The supposedly brave Home Minister of India, why isn’t he in the House? If he hasn’t done anything and issued no order, then he should simply clarify that he didn’t issue the order. The main point is that I have the right to speak in Parliament, and that right must be granted to me.”

“The Home Minister doesn’t have the courage to come and sit here. He is not here today ’cause he is scared,” Gandhi remarked while addressing the House on the issues faced by students across the country.
