Demand for Accountability on Student Protest Crackdown

Opposition leaders, including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah of avoiding Parliament to escape accountability. Kharge called their absence an “insult to democracy” and vowed to continue agitations until the government apologizes to the students.

The opposition has submitted adjournment motions seeking debates on both issues, but the government has refused assurances, leading to repeated disruptions. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the opposition for not participating in legislative discussions, noting that important bills were passed without debate due to their absence.
