Parliament Disruptions Continue Over Opposition Demand for Amit Shah's Statement

Analysed 8 Aug 2026·36 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Politics
Parliament Disruptions Continue Over Opposition Demand for Amit Shah's StatementPreviousNext

Parliament has faced repeated disruptions as the Opposition demands Home Minister Amit Shah's presence and a statement on police action against student protesters on July 20. Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan urged Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey the Opposition's request to Shah. Rijiju defended Shah, stating he attends Parliament daily and that ministerial responses depend on listed business, not Opposition demands. The Opposition, led by Mallikarjun Kharge and others, criticized the government's handling and called for accountability, while the government emphasized procedural norms and criticized disruptions.
