The Story in Brief
Home Minister Amit Shah has told the Lok Sabha he is ready to answer all questions during the Monsoon Session over police action during the Delhi protests. The announcement comes after the Opposition demanded a discussion on the handling of the August 2025 demonstrations. The Speaker has already constituted a probe panel under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, to examine the events.
NDTV reports that the panel was formed on August 15, 2025, by Speaker Om Birla. The Opposition has criticised the composition of the panel, alleging it is biased. Shah's offer to speak directly in the House is seen as an attempt to defuse the confrontation before a no-confidence motion is moved.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that an impartial probe is impossible under a ruling-party chair misses the precedent: the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, has been used before across governments. The real test will be whether the panel's terms of reference are made public and if it calls witnesses from both sides. If the committee's report is tabled without amendment, the charge of a cover-up will collapse. If it is buried, the Opposition's point stands.
