Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Tuesday after Opposition protests over alleged police excesses against student protesters and alleged irregularities in donations to Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir. The Lok Sabha was adjourned within minutes of meeting, while the Rajya Sabha saw two successive adjournments, LiveMint reports. Opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, protested at Parliament’s Makar Dwar and demanded a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the July 20 police action. India Today reports that the government has said it is ready for discussions, but the Opposition wants Shah present. The BJP accused the Congress-led bloc of blocking debate on Bills and disrupting Question Hour and Zero Hour.
