Amit Shah 'ready to answer any question'; Rahul Gandhi says 'not interested in lecture'

Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended an invitation on Wednesday to sit in the Parliament from 3 PM today until 3 PM the following day to listen to the opposition's concerns and respond to every point. However, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi declined, stating that they seek answers, not lectures. The offer came amid protests against Shah's absence from Parliament over the police action against students during a July 20 march over the NEET paper leak issue.

Shah clarified that he had been regularly attending Parliament and was ready for a detailed discussion on the issue. He urged the opposition to submit a letter to the Speaker by 2 PM, starting the discussion at 3 PM and being available until 3 PM tomorrow, even suspending the Question Hour if necessary. Gandhi, however, rejected Shah's offer, demanding answers about the alleged police action against students instead of a lecture from Shah.
