Kiren Rijiju says Amit Shah ready to reply to debate on student protests, seeks Opposition assurance
- On Monday, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced the government is ready for a "full and detailed discussion" in Parliament regarding recent student protests, urging the Opposition to allow the House to function.
- The parliamentary deadlock stems from Opposition protests demanding accountability for alleged police force and baton-charges against students during a march in Delhi, which have halted proceedings since the Monsoon Session began on July 20.
- Leader of Opposition Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming his absence proves responsibility for the violence, as lawmakers staged sustained protests daily at Parliament gates.
- Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stated the deadlock will continue until the Home Minister provides a statement, while Rijiju cautioned that the Opposition must not create disturbances during the address.
- With only four days of the Monsoon Session remaining, the continuing impasse has cast uncertainty over major bills, including proposed legislation on women's reservation, delimitation, and amendments to the FCRA.
