India, Aug. 10 -- Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the country is not interested in Union home minister Amit Shah's speech "on general topics" and sought a statement on the 'authorisation' of alleged firing of pellet guns during the students' protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar last month.

"Amit Shah does not have the courage to come to Parliament and stand before us. This is what they have shown in the last 15 days," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha told reporters.

"Neither (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi nor Amit Shah has the guts...No one is interested in his opinion; we just want to know who ordered the firing, and if he did not order it, then who in MHA ordered it? We want to understand: is there culpability or incompetence...
