Union Home Minister Amit Shah met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla as the government stepped up efforts to break the Parliament deadlock over the protests and alleged police action. The government has said it is ready for a full-fledged debate on the protests and has offered a statement by the Home Minister. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also urged the Opposition to cooperate and listen to the government’s side. However, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the Opposition’s two demands remain non-negotiable: a statement by Amit Shah on alleged police action against protesting youth, followed by a discussion in both Houses, and a statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Trust donation controversy, followed by a comprehensive discussion. #timesnow #englishnews #amitshah #ombirla #parliament #congress #jairamramesh #protests #modi #politics
