The day was dominated by Rahul Gandhi's escalating attack on Home Minister Amit Shah during the anti-paper leak bill debate. In the morning, Gandhi used the terms 'idiot' and 'andhbhakt' to describe the government, triggering uproar and demands for expunction. By midday, he directly accused Shah of ordering pellet gun fire on student protesters, leading to multiple adjournments and a government rebuttal that only tear gas was used. The bill passed amid an opposition walkout. In the afternoon, Gandhi held a press conference refusing to apologize and demanding Shah's sacking, while Delhi Police fact-checked his claims. Editors across outlets focused on this parliamentary clash, sidelining other stories like the US-Iran conflict and farmers' protests in Madhya Pradesh. The narrative framed the day as a political showdown over police brutality, with the bill's passage secondary to the personal accusations.
