Congress urges Home Minister to address alleged AK‑47 use on students

Another focal point of the Congress agenda was the alleged deployment of an AK‑47 and a pellet gun against student protesters. J.B. Mathur demanded that the Union Home Minister appear in Parliament and provide a detailed statement on the matter. He described the accusations as grave and said the government’s silence raises serious concerns about accountability.

Mathur reiterated the opposition’s stance that peaceful, constitutional means of dissent—such as letters, articles, banners and slogans—should be respected, while any form of violence must be condemned unequivocally.
