The Story in Brief
Parliament has been disrupted for 15 consecutive days, with Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accusing Union Home Minister Amit Shah of lacking courage to face MPs over Delhi Police's action against student protesters. Ramesh also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had remained silent on the 'chanda chori' issue, referring to allegations against a trust linked to the Ram temple.
Ramesh posted on X that the 'boastful duo full of bluff and bluster' had been exposed as 'cowardly'. He demanded Shah speak on police excesses and Modi on the trust issue. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju countered that the opposition cannot dictate which minister answers in the House. Shah met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for nearly an hour on Friday.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are playing a blame game that hurts no one but the voter. The opposition demands Shah's presence on a specific issue, but the government says it alone decides who speaks. Yet Parliament exists to hold the executive accountable, not to let ministers hide in chambers. The logjam has cost 15 days of legislative work. With four session days left, the test is simple: will Shah make a statement, or will the House remain stalled until adjournment?
