Govt Sets Conditions For Amit Shah’s Reply On Student Protests, Seeks Inclusion Of Punjab, Jharkhand Agitations: Report
- Govt agrees to Amit Shah's statement on student protests.
- Conditions include discussing Punjab and Jharkhand student protests.
- Opposition demands direct answers on police action orders.
The Monsoon session of the Parliament is set to end on August 13, and the impasse between the government and the Opposition has kept the Houses from functioning smoothly. The government is looking to normalise the tense environment in the last two days, as it has agreed to hold a discussion on the Ram Mandir donation theft case and the FCRA Bill along with Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on alleged police brutality on student protestors.
However, the government has imposed conditions, including a discussion of student protests in Punjab and Jharkhand.
According to a report by India Today, the government has also conveyed to the Opposition that before Amit Shah responds, there should be a proper discussion on the issues.
"Issuing a statement will only be a formality; we want proper discussion and not just a statement," the report quoted government sources as saying.
