There has been a persistent demand from the Opposition for a statement from the Home Minister on the police action against students protesting in the city last month. Mr. Shah has not been seen in the House even though he has been regularly coming to the Parliament House complex.

Mr. Rijiju also said that since the government is ready for the debate on the student protests in different parts of the country, the Opposition can’t create any turmoil and resort to any sloganeering during the discussion in the House as well as reply to the debate.
