Shah needs to answer the July 20 question


When Parliamentarians were wanting to discuss students and their education, Amit Shah was absconding. Now, as the monsoon session ends, he has suddenly risen like a phoenix to deliver a grand faux speech like an entitled prince expecting everyone to sit quietly and applaud.

He blamed the Opposition for disrupting the proceedings and has claimed that he has come to the 'sansad' every day and sat in his chamber. This is akin to going to school everyday but not attending classes. No man, spare us the theatrics. Just answer one question - Did you order the assault on students with batons, tasers, nailed lathis, tear gas and pellet guns on July 20? If yes, resign, if not, name the person who did. And if you do not know who is running your own Home Ministry, resign for being spectacularly incompetent.

Culpable or clueless, you should resign either way for the benefit of the nation.
