The Story in Brief
Union minister JP Nadda on Monday rejected Rahul Gandhi's claim that firing took place at the Jantar Mantar protest, accusing the Leader of Opposition of misleading the public. Nadda said no shots were fired and no such order was issued. He alleged that Gandhi kept changing his demands, from NEET to Ram Mandir trust to Jantar Mantar, to prevent Parliament from functioning for 15 days. Nadda challenged Gandhi to debate any issue, saying Home Minister Amit Shah was ready to answer. He also questioned Congress's silence on the Jharkhand student protest, accusing it of double standards. The Hindu reports that Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government offered a full discussion.
The Indian Opinion
The ruling BJP and Congress are locked in a familiar blame game. Nadda's charge that Rahul changes goalposts may have some truth, but the government's claim of readiness rings hollow if it repeatedly accuses the opposition of disruption instead of debating the issues. The Jantar Mantar incident and Jharkhand student protest deserve a parliamentary discussion, not a shouting match. The test will be whether the Lok Sabha actually takes up these subjects this week, or if both sides prefer the comfort of press conferences to real scrutiny.
