Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability over the police crackdown on students during the July 20 protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. In his letter, Gandhi described the action as a "barbaric assault" and questioned who authorised the alleged use of pellet guns against demonstrators. He also raised concerns over the presence of plain-clothed personnel during the operation and called for a transparent investigation into the incident. Gandhi urged the Centre to identify those responsible and ensure action, saying students have a democratic right to protest peacefully without facing excessive force. (PC: India Today)
