NEW DELHI: Opposition party MPs are scheduled to hold a protest at Makar Dwar at 10.30 am on Tuesday over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement and the ongoing row concerning donations for the Ram Temple.
The planned demonstration comes amid a continuing standoff between the government and Opposition over the alleged police action against student protesters in the national capital and the functioning of Parliament during the Monsoon Session.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday hit out at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, saying he should not “run away” from Parliament now that Home Minister Amit Shah is ready to respond to the questions raised by him. Rijiju’s remarks came amid the ongoing confrontation between the government and the Opposition over the recent student protests and the police action against demonstrators.
The issue has led to repeated disruptions in Parliament, with the Opposition demanding answers from the government and Rahul Gandhi seeking a response from Shah. The government has now offered a debate on the issue, with the Home Minister set to respond.
