Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, while speaking in the Rajya Sabha, accused Home Minister Amit Shah of remaining silent over the police crackdown on CJP protesters. He said, "You can't stay hidden behind closed doors forever. One day, we'll drag you out." BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said Congress has "crossed all limits", alleging that Kharge had threatened "violence" against Amit Shah.
