The Story in Brief
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla made a 'sentimental appeal' to floor leaders on Monday, asking them to let the House function and prioritise public voices, timesnownews.com reports. The monsoon session has been paralysed since July 20, with the Opposition demanding a response from Home Minister Amit Shah on the police crackdown on students protesting the NEET paper leak, and a debate on theft of donations from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
For the 16th straight day, Question Hour was disrupted by Opposition sloganeering. Only two of nine bills passed this session were debated. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government is ready for a debate and the Home Minister will reply, but the Opposition must give an assurance to listen without disruption. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi said the deadlock will continue until the Home Minister speaks.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides have dug in: the Opposition insists the Home Minister must address the NEET protest and temple theft, while the government says it is ready for a debate if the Opposition does not walk out. Each accuses the other of undermining Parliament, but neither shows real interest in legislative work. The real test will come if the Opposition accepts a structured debate with a time-bound reply by Amit Shah. That alone can separate a genuine demand for answers from mere disruption.
