Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has sharply criticized Home Minister Amit Shah, dismissing his statements on recent student protests as “fantasy conversations.” Gandhi’s remarks follow ongoing demonstrations by students across the country concerning various issues, including exam irregularities and academic freedom. He accused Shah of avoiding substantial engagement with the protestors’ concerns, opting instead for what he termed detached rhetoric. The comments signal escalating tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress party. Gandhi implied the government is out of touch with the realities faced by students and is unwilling to address their legitimate grievances. This exchange highlights the increasing polarization surrounding student activism in India. The Congress party is likely to further amplify its support for the students in the coming days.
