'Cowards': Congress on Amit Shah's 'no show ' in Lok Sabha, Rijiju hits back
This came a day after the government offered to debate students’ issues and police action in Parliament with a reply by Shah to resolve the Parliament logjam.
The Congress party criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for not attending sessions in the Lok Sabha despite having business listed under his name. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Shah of being a "coward" who intimidates others. Ramesh alleged that the opposition was running away from discussing the issues, including alleged police brutality on student protesters in Delhi and embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
In response, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju claimed Shah was ready to provide a full reply to the opposition's concerns. He stated that the government had already offered a detailed discussion on the students' protest and police action, and the opposition was preventing a discussion from taking place. Rijiju criticized the Congress for "running away from discussion" and claimed the government was ready for a comprehensive dialogue.
He accused Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, of initially demanding a statement from Shah, but the Congress party avoiding the discussion.
