Congress leader KC Venugopal has submitted a privilege motion against Union Minister Jitendra Singh. The action follows Singh’s statement that no firing occurred when student protesters approached Parliament on July 20. In a post on X, Venugopal accused the minister of lying in Parliament. He pointed to media reports and hospital records showing injuries from pellet guns, including a meeting between Rahul Gandhi and a victim. Venugopal said the government should face consequences for false statements made in Parliament.
