Govt-opposition stand-off continues as Rahul sticks to demand for Shah’s statement
Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju reached out to Rahul Gandhi to discuss the possibility of allowing House business
The ongoing standoff between the government and the Opposition in Parliament appears set to persist, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi maintaining his demand for Union Home Minister Amit Shah to make a statement regarding the use of force against protesting students on July 20. Sources suggest the government may be open to tabling the delimitation bill during a special three-day session following Independence Day, following a meeting between Gandhi and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju.
The government needs a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha to pass the delimitation bill, a feat it has struggled to achieve in the past. Congress is reportedly unwilling to budge on its demand for Shah’s statement, though it may reconsider its stance on certain issues, such as the Ayodhya donation theft controversy.
