Rajya Sabha Chairman Urges Conveying Opposition Demand for Amit Shah's Presence Amid Protests
During the Rajya Sabha Monsoon Session, Opposition members, led by Mallikarjun Kharge, demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah's presence to address alleged police excesses against student protesters on July 20. Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan urged Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey these sentiments to Shah. The House faced disruptions with repeated protests and sloganeering, leading to adjournments. While the Opposition emphasized accountability, government representatives cited parliamentary rules to manage proceedings. Discussions on other legislative matters continued amid the tensions.
