Ready for Parliament session till late night today: Amit Shah to Opposition

Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed readiness for a prolonged parliamentary debate with the Opposition on Wednesday, addressing the logjam in the House over security personnel's actions against protesting students. At a press briefing, Shah stated that the Opposition could submit their concerns to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla by 2 pm, with a discussion set to commence at 3 pm.

"I want the Opposition to write to Speaker Om Birla by 2 pm, and we will begin the discussion by 3 pm. At 3 pm, I will answer all questions," Shah emphasized.

Shah clarified that matters of such significance cannot be handled through mere statements and insisted on a proper parliamentary debate. He criticized the Opposition for labeling him as "laapata," "bhaag gaye," and "bhagode," terms he claimed had recently seeped into public discourse. Shah reiterated his willingness to participate in the discussion and urged the Opposition to either engage in a debate or cease disrupting parliamentary proceedings.

The conflict between Shah and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi underscores the ongoing tension in Indian politics.
