Parliament Standoff Escalates: NDA, Opposition Clash Over Student Protests, Exam Irregularities & Ram Temple Donation Row | Video
New Delhi: The Parliament deadlock escalated sharply on Tuesday as NDA and Opposition INDIA bloc MPs came face-to-face at Makar Dwar, trading slogans and accusations over police action against protesting students, alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and the purported theft of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Parliamentary proceedings descended into chaos on Tuesday as rival parties from the NDA and Opposition INDIA bloc clashed outside and inside the Lok Sabha. The standoff centered on three contentious issues: the police crackdown on protesting students in Jharkhand, alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, and the purported theft of donations to the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Security personnel set up a barrier between the two factions, preventing them from physically confronting each other. However, MPs from the opposing parties engaged in heated exchanges, hurling accusations and demanding answers. NDA leader Rahul Gandhi faced allegations of evading a debate on student protests, while the opposition pressed Union Home Minister Amit Shah to explain the alleged police excesses against students in Delhi.
The opposition demanded a statement from Shah regarding the alleged use of lathis and pellet guns against students, including the reported firing in Delhi. They also sought an explanation for the alleged "Chanda Chori" (theft of donations) at the Ram temple in Ayodhya and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The government insisted it had met the opposition's demands, promising a detailed discussion followed by Shah's response. However, the opposition disputed this claim, accusing the government of attempting to divert attention from the Delhi police excesses. Opposition MPs accused Shah of using the Jharkhand protests as a smokescreen for the Delhi police misconduct.
The stalemate in the Lok Sabha mirrored the unrest outside Parliament, where both sides faced off at Makar Dwar. BJP MPs confronted opposition leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, urging Rahul Gandhi to address the issues in Jharkhand. The confrontation briefly brought the rival camps within shouting distance, raising tensions within the parliament building.
