Opposition Links Further House Action to Amit Shah's Stand on Cops
Opposition MPs backed debate on the anti-paper leak bill but said future cooperation depends on Amit Shah addressing police excesses against protesting students.
- On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi alleged in the Lok Sabha that Union Home Minister Amit Shah "authorised" police excesses against NEET student protesters, triggering a massive uproar during the anti-paper leak bill debate.
- Linking their legislative cooperation to accountability, the Opposition demanded a "satisfactory" response from Shah regarding police brutality during the recent student agitation at Jantar Mantar.
- Gandhi also accused the RSS of having "captured" the education system, citing an 18-year-old student's framework to argue that protests reflected deeper concerns about the nation's youth.
- Speaker Om Birla ordered "unparliamentary" expressions expunged from the record after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju objected to Gandhi's remarks during the heated exchange.
- Despite the standoff, the Lok Sabha debated the anti-paper leak bill proposing up to 10 years' imprisonment for offenders, though wider legislative business remains stalled amid ongoing disruptions.
