The Story in Brief
Times Now reports that Home Minister Amit Shah met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for nearly an hour on Friday, amid a parliamentary stalemate. The opposition has been stalling proceedings, demanding a statement from Shah on the police crackdown during a student protest march to Parliament on July 20.
Separately, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Shah in his Parliament office. In the Lok Sabha, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the opposition cannot dictate which minister responds to a debate. He added that Shah is present in Parliament every day.
The Indian Opinion
Both the government and the opposition are spinning the stall in Parliament to suit their narratives. The opposition wants Shah to answer on the police action, but the government says it is ready to debate the FCRA Bill instead. Neither side looks interested in letting the House function. The real test will come on Monday: will MPs turn up for a debate, or will the walkouts continue?
