NEW DELHI: Congressâ

Rahul Gandhi on Sunday questioned home minister

Amit Shah âs silence over alleged police brutalities against protesting students, saying he would have to answer for what happened sooner or later.

âI have no options left nowâ â This is exactly what a student told me in Prayagraj yesterday. Years of preparation, selling the family land, parents burdened with debt and yet, nothing to show for it,â Rahul Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X, referring to his âChhatron ki Goonjâ event on Saturday.

âThis is not his failure, it is the failure of a system that refused to reward his hard work,â Rahul added.

Several days have passed since the students protesting at Delhiâs Jantar Mantar over alleged paper leaks called off their agitation, yet thereâs not a single word from Shah on the action taken by

Delhi Police against them, he said.

âAmit Shahji, do not think that we will stop demanding accountability...â he said.

Meanwhile, with the monsoon session of Parliament entering its final week on Monday, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Sunday cautioned the govt that âhistory should not repeat itselfâ, recalling that significant laws were passed during the winter session of Parliament in 2023 despite 146 MPs being under suspension.

Referring to the security breach which saw two men jumping into Lok Sabha on Dec 13, 2023, Ramesh said in a post on X, âOpposition repeatedly demanded a statement from the Union Home Minister. None was forthcoming. He remained silent as he is doing now on the brutalities inflicted by the Delhi Police on protesting youth last month.â
