While speaking at a press conference in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi also demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the "brutalities" during the NEET agitation

The Leader of Opposition (LoP) alleged that he was not allowed to speak in Lok Sabha and everytime he tries to speak there, he is "silenced"

Rahul while presenting a presentation, said that either Shah ordered that students be shot with pellet guns and beaten with lathis with nails or he was unaware. The LoP further referred to the crackdown by security forces during the July 20 Cockroach Janta Party-led protest march to Parliament

MP from Rae Bareli said, "I said Shah was responsible for the brutality that was carried out. I was given an assurance that if I apologise, I will be allowed to speak. I will never apologise to the BJP-RSS"

Earlier, in Lok Sabha, the Leader of Opposition also alleged that Shah had authorised police excesses against student protesters, triggering a massive uproar in the Lok Sabha during a debate on the bill to amend the anti-paper leaks law
