Rajya Sabha Chairman Asks Centre to Convey Demand for Amit Shah’s Presence

The Story in Brief

Parliament proceedings were repeatedly disrupted on Thursday as opposition MPs demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s presence over police action against student protesters at Jantar Mantar. The Lok Sabha was also adjourned several times amid protests.

Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey the opposition’s sentiments to Shah. Opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge sought a statement from Shah and said the opposition was ready for a discussion. Rijiju said Kharge had made a request without citing a rule. Kharge later said further protests would depend on the government’s response.

The Indian Opinion

The episode shows how demands for ministerial accountability can become entangled with repeated disruptions. The opposition says a direct statement is necessary, while the government has questioned the procedure used to seek it. The source does not establish whether Shah will address Parliament or provide details of the police action. A calmer discussion would help members examine the incident and respond to students’ concerns.
