Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has slammed the Narendra Modi-led central government for its handling of recent student protests.
In an article in The Hindu, she accused the government of using cowardice and wanton cruelty instead of engaging with students' demands for accountability and education reforms.
She referred to July 20, 2026, as a day of infamy, alleging that Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces used force against peaceful protesters.
Gandhi alleged that many peaceful protesters, even those returning home, were not spared.
She wrote, The nation has seen some of the most depressing visuals of youth whose bodies have been scarred by pellets.
