Ready for long debate, can answer any question but oppn doesn’t want it: Shah

Home Minister Amit Shah has issued a challenge to the opposition to hold a comprehensive debate in Parliament over allegations of police excesses during the anti-NEET protests in Delhi on July 20. Shah said he is prepared for a 24-hour-long debate, with a start time of 3 pm the next day, provided the Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, consents.

He emphasized his readiness to answer any question, accusing the opposition of not wanting such a debate in Parliament. BJP senior leaders, including party president Nitin Nabin, echoed Shah's stance, branding Rahul Gandhi and the opposition as "anarchic and anti-democracy." Shah criticized the opposition for their disruptions and accused them of running away from Parliament when they have the chamber at their disposal.

He urged the Speaker to facilitate talks with the opposition, emphasizing that solutions to issues in democracy emerge from dialogue and discussion.
