News india 'Not Interested In Fantasy Conversations': Congress Renews Attack On Amit Shah Over Protest Crackdown 'Not Interested In Fantasy Conversations': Congress Renews Attack On Amit Shah Over Protest Crackdown Published By, Last Updated: August 10, 2026, 18:42 IST Rahul Gandhi reiterated the Congress's demand that Amit Shah should clarify who authorised the Delhi police to use pellet guns against protesters on July 20. The Congress has demanded Amit Shah's response on the police crackdown on CJP-led protests in New Delhi. (Agencies) Congress on Monday reiterated its demand for Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s response to the opposition’s concerns over the police action against protesters on July 20, making it clear that the ongoing deadlock in Parliament would continue unless he addresses the House. This came after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Home Minister Amit Shah is ready to respond to the opposition’s concerns, provided that the House is allowed to function properly. During a press conference, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the opposition had been consistently demanding Amit Shah’s involvement in a discussion over the treatment of student protesters in Delhi, including the police action during the July 20 march led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).
Rahul Gandhi said the Opposition did not want Shah to give a speech about some general topics in Parliament, but should clarify who authorised the Delhi police to use pellet guns and tear gas against protesters. “Amit Shah suddenly saying that he is ready to speak. We are not interested in his fantasy conversations. We are interested in whether he authorised or didn’t authorise the shooting of our children. First, he should make that abundantly clear," he added.

We want to understand: is there culpability or incompetence?" he added. ‘Rahul Gandhi Running Away’: Kiren Rijiju Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s latest charge, Rijiju accused the Congress leader of “running away" and appealed for a straightforward discussion in the House without any theatrics.
