Congress MPs Paralyze Parliament Over Delhi Police Crackdown

AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal confirmed the party’s strategy, signaling that the protest will continue until the Home Minister breaks his silence on the floor. According to Venugopal, the government’s refusal to engage with the opposition’s concerns regarding the crackdown has rendered normal parliamentary function impossible. Rahul Gandhi joined the critique, framing the government’s reticence as a tacit endorsement of the aggression displayed toward demonstrators.

The deadlock threatens a packed legislative agenda, including the Tribunals Reforms Bill and the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill. Beyond the student protests, tension mounted as opposition members introduced additional grievances, specifically citing allegations surrounding donations for the Ayodhya Ram Temple. With the INDIA bloc maintaining a united front, the chamber remains locked in a cycle of disruption, prioritizing confrontation over the passage of pending reforms.
