Rahul Gandhi Criticises Kiren Rijiju Over Jantar Mantar Injury Claim
· India · NDTV, Times of India, Hindustan Times
Rahul Gandhi posted a video in which Kiren Rijiju, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, claimed there were no serious injuries at the Jantar Mantar protest. Gandhi countered by alleging that police used lathis studded with nails during the demonstration. The protest occurred in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar area during a national outreach rally. The disagreement shows growing tension between the opposition and the central government over police conduct at large gatherings. It is likely to prompt further parliamentary scrutiny of law‑and‑order measures in public affairs.
Why it matters
The dispute raises questions about the accuracy of official statements on police actions and could influence policy debate on crowd control and civil liberties in India.
