Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologize and resign, along with Home Minister Amit Shah, over the police crackdown on protesters linked to the Cockroach Janta Party’s demonstrations.
Gandhi’s demand followed reports of police action against student protesters during the demonstrations, which he characterized as an excessive use of force by law enforcement. The Congress leader’s remarks escalate the political confrontation between the opposition and the government over the handling of the protests.
The government has not responded directly to Gandhi’s call for resignations, though the exchange adds to the deepening standoff between the ruling party and opposition over the protest movement.
The Congress leader’s remarks mark an escalation from earlier opposition criticism of the government’s handling of the protests, shifting the political confrontation toward direct calls for accountability at the top of the government.
