Parliament Monsoon Session: Follow LIVE updates on July 29, 2026 “As you have seen today, the Leader of the Opposition is not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha. Multiple times I asked the Speaker to bring order to the House so that I could speak.
Multiple times, Rijiju and Rajnath Singh were allowed to speak and I was not allowed to speak. And the excuse was that I said something about Amit Shah,” Mr. Gandhi said. He again blamed Mr. Shah for the police brutality on the protesting students in Delhi. “I will never ever apologise to the BJP, RSS or any person associated with them.

He claimed that one protester injured by pellet gun is “likely to lose” his eyesight. He also questions the presence of plainclothes officers among police during the protests. “To me, the brutalisation of our students, the beating of our students, the assault on our students is a fundamental issue, like it is for millions of people. Its an issue for the students themselves, who are being threatened today,” he said. “Face recognition is being used against them, Bajrang Dal is being mobilised against them to frighten them so that they do not do this type of thing again.
So for me this is a primary issue,” he added. “Any action that is taken by police forces or forces associated with the Home Ministry requires his order,” Mr. Gandhi said, blaming Mr. Shah for the police action. Watch the LIVE speech here
