Gandhi's Gauntlet: A Test of Modi's Will on Police Reform The Lok Sabha drama this week has exposed a weakness in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's image as an unassailable leader.
Rahul Gandhi's impassioned press conference, where he criticized the Centre's handling of alleged police brutality against student protesters on July 20, may have seemed like just another partisan outburst to some.
However, beneath the surface, it was a bold challenge to Modi's leadership and a call for police reform. At the heart of this controversy is Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and one of Modi's most trusted advisors.
