Jul 31, 2026 10:46 AM IST Kharge asks PM Modi to seek Amit Shah's resignation over student protests Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Centre of targeting students by filing FIRs and allegedly subjecting them to forced detentions after the withdrawal of the NEET paper leak protests.
Kharge said students had ended their agitation on the assurance that no action would be taken against them, but alleged that BJP governments had gone back on their word.
Referring to the July 20 CJP-led 'Sansad Chalo' march, Kharge alleged that security forces used lathis, batons and pellet guns against protesters.
He also accused authorities of blocking youth social media accounts and doxxing young women.
