In a panel discussion anchored by Preeti, political leaders Syed Zafar Islam, Dr Syed Nasir Hussain, Rajat Sethi, and Yashvardhan Azad address the controversy surrounding the deployment of pellet guns against student protesters and the subsequent filing of an FIR. BJP National Spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam accuses Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi of politicising the matter, stating, 'Rahul Gandhi is misguiding them, misleading them, and that is something which we need to understand.' Congress MP Dr Syed Nasir Hussain counters that student grievances, police action, and a month-long delay in lodging an FIR are inherently political issues, maintaining that action was taken only after opposition pressure. Panelist Rajat Sethi stresses the necessity of due process and evaluating operational guidelines governing non-lethal weapons. Yashvardhan Azad observes that official clarification on police action and timely registration of the FIR could have averted extended political controversy.
