Parliament Deadlock Continues as Rijiju Meets Rahul Gandhi Amid Opposition Demands

Analysed 5 Aug 2026·20 sources analysed·Ayodhya, India·Politics
Parliament Deadlock Continues as Rijiju Meets Rahul Gandhi Amid Opposition DemandsPreviousNext

Parliament's Monsoon Session remains stalled due to opposition protests demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on police action against students and a discussion on alleged Ram Mandir donation theft. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju met Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders to seek cooperation on key bills, including the Delimitation and FCRA Bills. Rahul Gandhi rejected progressing legislative business without addressing opposition concerns. The government ruled out extending the session or calling a special session in August amid ongoing deadlock.
