Union Home Minister Amit Shah would provide a point-by-point response, according to the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) chair Om Birla. However, the Opposition rejects this offer, insisting on specific answers and another debate on the alleged theft of donations to the Ram Temple. Opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav have demanded that Shah clarify who authorized the shooting at the July 20 protest and who was responsible for the alleged theft of donations to the Ram Temple construction.",
