‘Coming regularly to Parliament’: Amit Shah attacks Opposition over ‘laapata’, ‘bhaag gaye’ remarks

Union Home Minister Amit Shah defended himself against Opposition allegations that he avoided Parliament, stating he had been attending sessions regularly but found no reason to enter when proceedings were disrupted.

Shah proposed a discussion on the protests, which Gandhi dismissed as a last-minute attempt to improve Shah's public image.
