Participating in the debate on the Anti-Paper Leak Bill, Gandhi alleged that Shah, who was absent from the House at the time, was responsible for the police action against protesting students.“The Home Minister ordered the shooting of our students. He put pellets into the blood of our students.

The authority to issue such an order rests with the magistrate, not the minister.” The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day after passing the anti-paper leak bill. <h2>Home Minister either culpable, or incompetent: Rahul</h2> Speaking to reporters outside the Parliament, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi said there were only two scenarios regarding the alleged firing during the protests: either Union home minister Amit Shah ordered it or he was unaware of it.“There can be two possible scenarios. One is that the Home Minister issued the order. The second is that the Home Minister was unaware that firing would take place. In the first case, he is culpable; in the second, he is incompetent—it has to be one of the two; there is no third possibility,” he said.“If the Home Minister didn’t even know that shots were being fired, it means he is incompetent; otherwise, if he ordered it, he is culpable,” he added. <h2>Rahul’s unparliamentary word expunged from record</h2> Rahul Gandhi used an unparliamentary word while participating in the discussion on the bill, prompting strong objections from the Treasury benches. Speaker Om Birla ordered that the expression be expunged from the House proceedings.

This was not anger, not violence, not hatred.
