# Rajya Sabha chair asks Rijiju to convey Opposition demand to Shah 2026-08-06T14:44:48+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey the Opposition’s request to Home Minister Amit Shah during proceedings on August 6. The Opposition wants Shah to address police action against demonstrators protesting an alleged NEET paper leak in New Delhi last month. The House faced repeated disruptions and adjournments after Opposition members demanded Shah’s presence. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said the Opposition had raised genuine concerns about the country and its 140 crore people. Radhakrishnan asked Kharge to speak, but Treasury bench members objected, leading to a heated exchange. The House was adjourned first until noon, then until 2.15 pm, and later for another hour. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - thefederal.com Tags: Amit Shah, Kiren Rijiju, Mallikarjun Kharge, Rajya Sabha Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rajya-sabha-chairman-asks-rijiju-to-convey-demand-for-shahs-statement/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
