NEW DELHI: The Opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and others, marched from the Gandhi statue at Prerna Sthal to Makar Dwar in Parliament in protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah over ‘police action’ against CJP protestors on 20th July, the issue of alleged Ayodhya Ram Mandir donations embezzlement and other issues.
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra demanded strict accountability from the central government over the alleged police action against the student protestors, saying that those holding public office must take full responsibility for issuing orders to use force against young citizens.
Speaking to reporters, Vadra declared that India is a democratic country; “not someone’s royal court,” demanding to know who authorised the use of lathi charges and pellet guns.
“Those holding public office have certain responsibilities toward the people. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship; it is not someone’s royal court. Therefore, if incidents have occurred, if bullets have been fired at children, pellet guns have been used, tear gas has been deployed, or lathi charges have been ordered, then someone must be held accountable. Someone must have issued those orders, and they should take responsibility,” she said.
