Parliamentary Session Adjourned After Protest Over Alleged Police Action

A debate over the anti‑paper‑leak legislation turned into a stand‑off after Rahul Gandhi accused the central government of authorising a pallet‑gun strike on student demonstrators on July 20. The claim triggered an immediate uproar from ruling party MPs, who demanded an apology or concrete evidence. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju asked Gandhi to produce the alleged command order, while Speaker Om Birla cautioned against unsubstantiated personal accusations. As chants of “Answer the Home Minister” echoed through the chamber, the speaker ordered a suspension of business until 2:30 PM to calm the atmosphere.
