  "account": "Union Home Minister Amit Shah defended himself against Opposition allegations that he avoided Parliament, stating he had been attending sessions regularly but found no reason to enter when proceedings were disrupted. He told reporters that the Opposition's obstruction of Parliament prevented any meaningful discussion. The Opposition, including Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accused Shah of avoiding Parliament for nearly 20 days and demanded a written notice from him to address the student protests. Shah proposed a discussion on the protests, which Gandhi dismissed as a last-minute attempt to improve Shah's public image.",
  "summary": "Amit Shah, rejecting “missing” and “fugitive” labels, said he stayed out of the House as Opposition disruptions prevented proceedings.",
