‘Ready to talk at 3pm’: Amit Shah's big remark amid Opposition uproar in Parliament over his ‘silence’

Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, expressed readiness for discussions on the student protests and police action on Wednesday, despite calls for his presence and a statement from him in Parliament. The government has rejected accusations of police excesses during the July 20 protest where pellet guns were used. The Opposition demands Shah to submit a letter to the Speaker by 2pm to commence the debate from 3pm the same day.

Shah reiterated his willingness to answer any questions in Parliament, stating the government has nothing to hide. The ongoing monsoon session has been largely overshadowed by Opposition's insistence on Shah's statement over allegations of police misconduct.
