NEW DELHI: Opposition MPs from the INDIA bloc staged a demonstration near Makar Dwar in the Parliament House complex on Monday.
The protest focused on the suspected theft of Ayodhya Ram temple donations and police excesses against students protesting the NEET paper leak.
Prominent leaders including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Dimple Yadav, and Mahua Moitra demanded the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament.
The gathering chanted slogans including “Chhanda chor, gaddi chor” and “Amit Shah sadan mein aao”. They also displayed a large banner asking “Why Amit Shah absent from Parliament?”
The Opposition accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Centre of ignoring both the temple fund theft and police excesses against demonstrating students. The INDIA bloc has vowed to corner the government in Parliament over both issues.
Accordingly, Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas submitted a notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha seeking suspension of the day’s business to discuss on the constitution of an independent Judicial Commission to inquire into the brutal police action against students during the protests.
