Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi held a press conference on July 29, 2026, accusing Union Home Minister Amit Shah of ordering police brutality against student protesters in Delhi. Gandhi stated he was repeatedly denied the chance to speak in the Lok Sabha on the issue, while BJP members were allowed to speak. He displayed images of injured students, claiming pellet guns and batons with nails were used, and that one protester may lose eyesight. Gandhi alleged plainclothes officers were present and that face recognition technology and Bajrang Dal were being used to intimidate students. He declared he would never apologize to the BJP or RSS, asserting his right as LoP to raise national issues.
