Amit Shah to make statement on Delhi protest crackdown, Opposition must not disrupt: Government
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address the Lok Sabha on the alleged use of excessive force against protesters in Delhi during last month's anti-paper leak demonstrations, provided the Opposition does not disrupt his speech. Led by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, the Opposition insists that Shah must clarify "who ordered the firing on students."
Gandhi criticized Shah's willingness to discuss the matter, questioning whether he authorized the violence or was merely unaware. Union Health Minister J P Nadda accused Gandhi of advocating for "anarchy" rather than constructive dialogue, while Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju informed the Lok Sabha that the government is prepared to discuss the student protest.
The session, set to conclude on August 13, faces uncertainties over the passage of key legislation including the Delimitation Bill, the women's reservation law, and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026.
