Rahul Gandhi Demands Amit Shah Clarify Who Authorised Delhi Shootings

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has demanded a clear explanation from Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the alleged shooting of youngsters in Delhi, saying the issue is not about Shah delivering a general speech in Parliament.

The question was never whether Amit Shah would come and give a speech on some general topic in Parliament.

The question was always that Mr. Amit Shah has to make it very clear: "Who authorised the shooting of our youngsters in Delhi?"

Gandhi said the central question is whether Amit Shah authorised the shooting or was unaware of what happened. He argued that in either situation, the Home Minister should resign.

According to Gandhi, the Opposition's first demand is for Shah to make it clear whether he authorised the action. He said only after this clarification can any broader discussion in Parliament take place.

Gandhi also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologise for the incident.
In addition, the Congress leader raised allegations concerning donations made for the Ram Mandir, claiming that people close to the Prime Minister had been involved in the alleged theft of donations. He sought answers on the issue as part of the Opposition's demands.

Rahul Gandhi reiterated that the immediate priority is to establish accountability for the alleged shootings and determine who authorised the action.
