Congress Targets Amit Shah Over Silence on NEET-UG Protest Crackdowns

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh leveled a sharp critique against Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday, accusing him of persistent avoidance regarding parliamentary accountability. The rebuke follows mounting pressure for an official statement on recent police actions against NEET-UG protesters, a demand the Home Minister has ignored throughout the current session.

Ramesh pointed to a pattern of behavior, citing the December 2023 Winter Session when security breaches in the Lok Sabha involving smoke canisters failed to elicit an explanation from Shah. This refusal to engage has become a recurring friction point as the monsoon session, which began on July 20, faces daily adjournments ahead of its scheduled August 13 conclusion.

The opposition strategist highlighted the long-term consequences of this silence, noting that previous sessions saw a flurry of major legislation passed with minimal scrutiny. Following the suspension of a record number of MPs last December, the government successfully pushed through the Three Criminal Law Reform Bills and the Election Commissioner appointment bill, effectively bypassing the standard legislative vetting process.
