'Amit Shah will reply on students' protest, but...': Rijiju sets rider; Opposition seeks Ayodhya donation debate too
Kiren Rijiju said Amit Shah will reply to the students' protest debate if Opposition MPs allow an uninterrupted response. The Opposition also seeks discussion on the alleged Ayodhya Ram temple donation theft case.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju declared on Monday that the government is prepared for an extensive discussion on student protests, but lawmakers must not disrupt the official response from Home Minister Amit Shah. Rijiju cautioned the opposition against interfering with the parliamentary process during the debate.
The opposition has demanded an investigation into the alleged excessive use of force by police against students protesting on July 20th, accusing them of using pellet guns, nail-studded batons, and tear gas shells. The government's response to these allegations has been delayed, with nearly two weeks passing since Shah's expected speech on the matter.
