Parliament's Monsoon Session continued to witness political confrontation as members of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) staged a protest inside the Parliament complex, accusing the Opposition of avoiding a discussion on the student protest issue.
The developments come amid continued disruptions in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, where Opposition parties have been demanding a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah over police action against protesting students.
NDA MPs stage protest march in Parliament
NDA Members of Parliament held a march towards Parliament's Makar Dwar carrying placards, alleging that Opposition parties were backing away from a discussion on student protests despite the government's willingness to hold a debate.
The protest formed part of the ruling alliance's strategy to counter Opposition criticism during the ongoing Monsoon Session.
Government reiterates Amit Shah will respond
The government has maintained that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address the issue in Parliament.
While no specific schedule has been announced for his statement, the assurance has raised expectations that the ongoing legislative deadlock could ease in the coming days.
