The Story in Brief
Parliament proceedings were repeatedly disrupted as Opposition members demanded that Home Minister Amit Shah address the Rajya Sabha over police action against student protesters at Jantar Mantar. Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey their sentiments to Shah. Mallikarjun Kharge said the Opposition was ready for a discussion and sought statements from the Home Minister and Prime Minister.
Rijiju objected that Kharge had not cited a rule and could not direct which minister should respond. Treasury benches and Opposition members exchanged remarks. The Rajya Sabha was adjourned several times, while the Lok Sabha also faced disruptions, according to The Times of India.
The Indian Opinion
The episode shows how demands for accountability can become entangled with disruptions that prevent regular parliamentary work. Opposition claims about the government’s responsibility and the Home Minister’s absence remain political assertions, not established facts in these reports. Equally, dismissing the protesters’ concerns as mere sloganeering would overlook the stated demand for an explanation. A clear statement and orderly debate could reduce uncertainty.
