Rahul Gandhi's letter to Amit Shah is a predictable attempt to score political points rather than address facts. Student protests often involve elements that disrupt public order, and security forces have a duty to prevent violence and damage. In this case, preliminary reports suggest that the police intervention was a response to stone-pelting and vandalism by some protesters. Gandhi's characterization as 'barbaric' ignores the context in which security forces must operate. The Home Minister cannot be held personally responsible for every action on the ground, especially when forces act to protect life and property. By targeting Shah directly, Gandhi is trying to shift blame from the protesters' own actions. The government has indicated its willingness to investigate any misconduct through established mechanisms. This incident should not be turned into a political weapon. The real issue is maintaining order while respecting rights, not a manufactured crisis for electoral gain.
