Opposition Demands Home Minister Shah’s Presence Amid Jharkhand Violence

Congress senior leader Mukul Wasnik defended the opposition’s agenda, stating that Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge have put forward three core demands that require a government answer. He warned that attempts by the BJP to shift attention to state‑specific concerns will not distract from larger national questions. Parallelly, Congress MP Pawan Khera raised allegations of police excesses during a ‘assembly encirclement’ march in Jharkhand, questioning whether activist groups linked to the BJP’s youth wing were present. He called for a calm, peaceful protest environment and demanded that Home Minister Amit Shah appear in Parliament to answer queries about the police response.
