  "account": "Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, speaking on Tuesday (August 11, 2026) amid Parliament's logjam, reiterated that the opposition is not altering its goalposts and has maintained a consistent stance since the beginning. Among the opposition's demands is that Home Minister Amit Shah must make a statement on police brutality against students. Mr. Kharge also highlighted the Jharkhand student protest as a separate issue and questioned whether all matters could be addressed in one day. The Congress chief emphasized that the opposition's three specific issues—lathi-charge and firing on students, injuries and hospitalizations from the lathi-charge, and the \"Chanda Chori\" donation theft matter—have remained relevant since the start and will continue to be until resolved.",
