Top quotes from Rahul Gandhi's speech that triggered ruckus in Parliament
- On Wednesday, the Lok Sabha passed the Public Examinations Amendment Bill, 2026 amid intense uproar over allegations that Home Minister Amit Shah ordered pellet-gun firing on student protesters during the July 20 Sansad Chalo march.
- Union Minister Jitendra Singh categorically denied these allegations, maintaining that no government official authorized any firing and that authorities used only tear gas shells to disperse the crowd, as firing orders fall strictly under magisterial jurisdiction.
- Criticizing Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Singh alleged his July 21 sit-in protest outside the Prime Minister's residence was a political spectacle driven by personal ambition rather than public interest.
- As debates intensified, BJP leaders labeled Gandhi's remarks "unparliamentary" after he referred to "students, idiots and andhbhakts," while the government sharpened its attack using Gen Z terminology like "FOMO" and "MIA."
- During the debate, Gandhi further claimed that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has captured the examination system, arguing that replacing Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan would not change the situation, as he was merely a "symbol" within the current structure.
