NDA and INDIA Bloc MPs Face Off at Parliament Gate

NDA and INDIA Bloc MPs Face Off at Parliament Gate

Two big groups of lawmakers in India, called the NDA and the INDIA bloc, had a disagreement in front of Parliament.

The two groups stood at the main gate and shouted slogans at each other, while security guards stood between them.

The lawmakers were upset about how police treated students in a state called Jharkhand.

Students there marched to the assembly building because they thought their job exams were not fair.

Police used water cannons and sticks to stop the marching students.

Some lawmakers said the police were too rough with the students and wanted the Home Minister to answer questions.

Other lawmakers said a leader named Rahul Gandhi was hiding from a debate about the student protests.

Both sides held up signs and shouted different messages.

People also said money might have been taken from a temple in a city called Ayodhya, and leaders wanted answers about that too.
