NDA MPs to March to Parliament Over Student Protest Standoff
The NDA is a group of political parties in India that work together, and its leaders meet every week.
This week, their meeting happened inside the Parliament building in New Delhi.
Many important leaders were there, including the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.
The leaders decided that their members of Parliament would march to the main Parliament building.
They are upset because other politicians are stopping important work in Parliament.
This argument is about student protests and how police acted during them.
The government says the Home Minister is ready to talk about it, but the Opposition is not letting a discussion happen.
One minister told the Opposition leader not to run away from the debate.
The argument has caused Parliament to be disrupted many times.
The student protests happened at a place called Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The NDA Parliamentary Party's weekly meeting, 'Mangal Milan', was held at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium in the Parliament Library Building on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President Nitin Nabin, Union Minister JP Nadda and other NDA leaders attended the meeting.
After the meeting, NDA MPs will march towards Parliament over the Opposition's logjam in the Monsoon Session regarding Amit Shah's statement on police action against student protestors at the Jantar Mantar protest.
NDA MPs are expected to carry placards stating that Amit Shah is ready for a discussion on the student protests, while the Opposition is avoiding a debate in Parliament.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju urged Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi not to 'run away' from Parliament since Shah is ready to respond to his questions.
