The Story in Brief
Parliament's Monsoon Session ends today with the government and Opposition locked in a standoff over student protests. Home Minister Amit Shah offered an extended debate, but the Opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, rejected it. Gandhi demanded Shah's resignation, saying students were shot with pellet guns and asking who gave the order. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the session could be extended if the Opposition agrees to a discussion, but sources said any such move depends on Opposition cooperation.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides talk of wanting a debate, but each has a precondition the other will not accept: Shah says discuss; Gandhi says first sack Shah. The young men hit by pellets do not care about parliamentary procedure; they want to know who gave the order. Neither the resignation demand nor the offer to extend the session answers that. If the government releases the pellet-gun firing order, the deadlock breaks. Until then, this is theatre, not governance.
