New Delhi, July 31:
Holding Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for alleged police brutalities on protesting students, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said that “Jan Shakti” (people’s power) will “drag him out” one day to make him accountable.
Speaking on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, Kharge criticised the absence of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister from the House, saying neither had spoken despite so much unrest.
“You are the Home Minister, and despite so much unrest, you are not opening your mouth. Has someone stitched it? He should have spoken openly,” Kharge said.
“In the interest of the nation, he should have borne that insult,” he added.
Kharge warned the government, stating that the students of the country will teach a bigger lesson than the one they have taught it just now.
Kharge said that if the Home Minister could not answer questions about who ordered the lathi-charge and tear-gas attack on students, and who the people in plain clothes beating students were, then the Home Minister should resign.
