Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Monday that Home Minister Amit Shah is ready to debate the student protest crackdown in Parliament, provided the Opposition participates without disruptions. This comes as Parliament has been paralysed for 16 days, with repeated adjournments and bills passed in chaos. Rijiju urged opposition parties to listen patiently and not flee the debate, accusing them of stalling legislative business. Meanwhile, the government faced criticism for pushing through the National Tribunal Commission Bill amid noisy protests.
