Rajya Sabha failed to conduct business on August 10 as Opposition MPs demanded Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on police action against student protesters on July 20. Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said the government would discuss the issue and Shah would respond. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the deadlock would continue until Shah gives a statement. Both Houses were adjourned till 2 pm amid sloganeering. The government introduced four bills in Lok Sabha, including the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill and the Tribunals Reforms Bill. The FCRA Amendment Bill remains uncertain with only four session days left.
