Leader of Opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a sharp attack at Union home minister Amit Shah, accusing him of ordering the use of pellet guns against students protesting at Jantar Mantar. He said Shah should be sacked over what he described as his incompetence.

Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said he was not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha because he had questioned Shah. He also claimed that he was asked to apologise, but said he would never do so.
“I was asked to apologise, but I will never ever apologise to the BJP, the RSS, or anyone else,” Gandhi said, referring to his speech in the Lok Sabha.
Gandhi said that, as the Leader of the Opposition, it is his right to raise issues that are important to the country.
He then referred to the alleged police brutality during demonstrations at Jantar Mantar on July 20.
The Congress MP said he wrote to Shah on July 25, asking who authorised the use of force on protesting students.
