Congress Ties Parliamentary Business to Amit Shah’s Response on Protests

Venugopal has formally petitioned Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, arguing that constitutional obligations necessitate a direct explanation from the Home Minister regarding the conduct of security forces. The demand is supported by senior party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who contend that the government's silence on the matter is unacceptable.

Speaker Om Birla continues to press for order, citing a backlog of legislative bills that require urgent debate. In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju signaled the government's readiness to engage in discussion, though he maintains that the Opposition must first allow the House to function normally. The standoff leaves the legislative agenda in limbo as both sides remain entrenched in their respective positions.
