After Occupied Kashmir and Manipur, Pellet Guns Used Against Unarmed Protesters in New Delhi

New Delhi: After occupied Kashmir and Manipur, Indian authorities have now begun using excessive state force against young people peacefully protesting for their rights in the capital, New Delhi. The use of baton charges, firing and pellet guns against students protesting over examination paper leaks has exposed the Modi government to intense criticism both domestically and internationally.

Rahul Gandhi Presents Pellet Gun Victim at Press Conference

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi presented a young man who was seriously injured by pellet fire before the media, exposing what he described as the Modi government’s brutal treatment of peaceful protesters.

“Police used pellet guns indiscriminately during a peaceful protest, causing this young man to lose sight in one eye,” Rahul Gandhi told the media.

The key developments in the current tense situation are as follows:

Severe violence against students: Thousands of Indian students who took to the streets after years of hard work were wasted due to examination irregularities were subjected to baton charges and severe physical violence.

Expansion of the movement: According to political analysts, the youth protest against examination mismanagement is no longer limited to New Delhi and has now spread to several other major Indian cities.

Government panic: Growing unrest and public movements triggered by unresolved national issues have reportedly left the Modi government deeply unsettled, prompting it to resort to unlawful force.

Political Crisis and Growing Public Anger

Political experts say the use of military-grade weapons and pellet guns against peaceful and unarmed students demonstrates that the government has no democratic solution to the public’s demands.

Following its failure to ensure transparency in the examination system, the use of state violence has further intensified anger among India’s youth.
