Rahul Gandhi's letter to Amit Shah is a legitimate exercise of democratic oversight. As the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Shah has direct responsibility for the conduct of central security forces. When students exercising their constitutional right to protest are met with force that causes injuries, the public deserves answers. Gandhi is not making a partisan point but raising a governance failure. Independent observers have noted that the response was disproportionate to any disruption caused by the protesters. The demand for accountability is not an attack on the security forces but a call for proper procedures. If the home minister does not respond, it sets a precedent that police can act with impunity. This affects every citizen's right to assemble peacefully. The opposition has a duty to question executive action, especially when physical harm is involved. Gandhi's letter is a step toward ensuring that those in power follow the rule of law.
