Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has demanded an independent probe, supervised by the Supreme Court, into the police action that used pellet guns against CJP protesters during the monsoon session of Parliament.
During the monsoon session of Parliament, Rahul Gandhi voiced strong criticism of the Union Home Minister, alleging that the police action against CJP protesters was either culpable or incompetent. He demanded an independent investigation, insisting that it be overseen by the Supreme Court to ensure impartiality.
The opposition leader highlighted the use of pellet guns on demonstrators, arguing that such forceful measures were excessive and violated the rights of the protesters. He called for a transparent inquiry that would address the concerns raised by the opposition and restore public confidence in law‑enforcement procedures.
The call comes amid growing scrutiny over the handling of the protests, with opposition parties demanding accountability and a clear explanation of the police’s tactics. Rahul Gandhi’s demand for a Supreme Court‑monitored probe underscores the seriousness with which the opposition views the incident.
The government has yet to respond to the request for an independent investigation. The issue remains a focal point of debate as Parliament continues its session.
