Rahul Gandhi writes to Home Minister Amit Shah seeking answers after an assault on students during protests, according to multiple reports. In the letter, Gandhi says peaceful protest is a core part of any democracy and argues that the government is responsible for protecting protesters and addressing grievances through dialogue rather than violence. He characterizes the assault as “barbaric” and says such violence violates norms and has drawn widespread outrage. Gandhi also frames the issue as one demanding accountability, saying youth and students are asking for answers and that their concerns must be addressed. The reports focus on Gandhi’s central question about the authorization of the use of pellet guns against students, asking who approved them. While the outlets describe the same actions—Gandhi’s letter to Shah and the positions he takes in it—they do not add new verified details about the incident itself in the excerpts provided. The correspondence is presented as a call for investigation and responsibility regarding the actions taken during the student protest.
