NEET Protest Lathi-charge Issue to Rock Parliament; Rahul Gandhi Writes to Amit Shah; Trinamool Also Submits Notice
New Delhi: The issue of police action against students during protests over the NEET question paper leak is likely to dominate the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The 'INDIA' bloc has adopted an aggressive stance on this matter; Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability. Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress MP Sagarika Ghose has submitted a notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking an urgent discussion on the issue.
In his letter, Rahul Gandhi mentions his meeting with 19-year-old student Sahil Lochab. He claims that the student risks losing vision in one eye after being hit by a pellet during the protest on July 20. Gandhi has raised pointed questions: who authorized the use of lethal weapons like pellet guns against students protesting peacefully? Who were the plainclothes individuals present? And will there be an inquiry into allegations that hundreds of students were injured?
Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha Deputy Leader Sagarika Ghose has termed the alleged use of excessive force against students a matter of national importance. She has demanded that the government provide a clarification regarding the alleged use of pellet guns—specifically, who authorized it and what procedures were followed. A hearing on this matter is scheduled in the Supreme Court today (July 27); the relevant petitions will be heard by a bench led by Justice Surya Kant. The Congress party has also alleged that Prime Minister Modi's image has suffered due to exam irregularities and that committees are being formed merely to salvage his reputation.
