Rijiju Rules Out Parliament Extension Amid Deadlock, Meets Rahul Gandhi to Seek Cooperation
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed speculation about extending the Monsoon Session or holding a special session in August to discuss the Women's Reservation and Delimitation Bills. Amid ongoing parliamentary deadlock marked by opposition protests over police action and alleged donation theft, Rijiju met with Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi to seek cooperation. Gandhi insisted on a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on these issues before parliamentary business proceeds. The government, confident of securing enough votes, continues outreach to opposition parties to break the stalemate.
