Kharge targets Shah over student crackdown claims
Bloomberg··31 Jul
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge targeted Home Minister Amit Shah on July 30 over alleged student crackdown during NEET protests. Kharge accused the government of using police action against young demonstrators rather than addressing exam integrity failures directly. The attack positions Shah at the centre of opposition criticism as Parliament debates anti-paper leak legislation amid continued session disruptions.
