Opposition not changing goalpost, consistent in its demand from beginning: Kharge on Parliament logjam
Kharge also said that the students' protest in Jharkhand is a "separate issue" and asked whether every single issue can be taken on a single day
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, speaking on Tuesday (August 11, 2026) amid Parliament's logjam, reiterated that the opposition is not altering its goalposts and has maintained a consistent stance since the beginning. Among the opposition's demands is that Home Minister Amit Shah must make a statement on police brutality against students.
Mr. Kharge also highlighted the Jharkhand student protest as a separate issue and questioned whether all matters could be addressed in one day. The Congress chief emphasized that the opposition's three specific issues—lathi-charge and firing on students, injuries and hospitalizations from the lathi-charge, and the "Chanda Chori" donation theft matter—have remained relevant since the start and will continue to be until resolved.
