What happened
Rahul Gandhi accused Home Minister Amit Shah of being responsible for violence linked to student protests.
Rahul Gandhi’s allegations target law-and-order actions taken against student protesters and include criticism of the government’s approach toward dissent during protest events.
What existed in the broader governance debate before this accusation
Student protests typically bring two governance questions to the front: whether protests are managed in a way that prevents violence, and whether enforcement responses are proportionate and accountable.
