NDA, Congress MPs Stage Protests
On August 11, NDA and Congress MPs staged protests against each other in the Parliament complex. NDA MPs accused the Opposition of avoiding a discussion in Parliament, while Opposition MPs raised slogans against Home Minister Amit Shah.
When Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi arrived at Parliament, BJP MPs raised slogans against Rahul Gandhi. A BJP MP also questioned her over why Rahul Gandhi was not meeting students protesting in Jharkhand.
Opposition MPs, meanwhile, continued to demand a discussion on the alleged theft of offerings from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. They also sought a statement from the Union Home Minister on the alleged use of force by police against protesting students in Delhi on July 20 over the paper leak issue.
NDA Accuses Opposition Of Avoiding Debate
NDA MPs were seen carrying placards with slogans such as “Rahul Gandhi, bhago mat” during the protest over the proposed discussion involving the Home Minister. They accused the Opposition of deliberately avoiding a debate on alleged police action against students.
Carrying banners and posters targeting the Opposition, NDA MPs said the government was ready to discuss the issue of student protests, but alleged that INDIA bloc parties were disrupting parliamentary proceedings to avoid the discussion.
Rajya Sabha BAC Discusses FCRA Bill
A Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting was held in the Rajya Sabha, where Congress and Trinamool Congress members demanded the withdrawal of the FCRA Bill. The government, however, said it would respond at the appropriate time.
