Critics of the government's response to the student protests argue that the use of pellet guns and excessive force was unwarranted and violated the rights of peaceful protesters. They contend that the deployment of such measures escalated tensions and caused unnecessary harm to students exercising their democratic rights.
Opponents highlight the medical evidence showing injuries consistent with pellet wounds, challenging the official denials by the Delhi Police and the CRPF. They call for a thorough and independent investigation into the incidents and demand accountability from those responsible for ordering and executing the crackdown.
Furthermore, they emphasize the need for transparency in law enforcement actions during protests and stress that public servants, including Amit Shah, should be held responsible for failures in protecting citizens' rights and ensuring proportional response.
