Rijiju Asks Rahul Gandhi Not to Run Away From Amit Shah Debate
Parliament Monsoon Session 2026 LIVE Updates: 'Don't Run Away': Kiren Rijiju Challenges Rahul Gandhi To Face Amit Shah In Parliament · NDTV

Two groups of grown-ups in India's government are having a big argument.

One group says the other group is hiding something about the police stopping student protests.

The leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi, keeps asking who told the police to act.

The home minister's team says he is ready to talk about it in their big meeting building called Parliament.

But Rahul Gandhi says he does not want opinions, he just wants a straight answer.

The government's spokesperson, Kiren Rijiju, says Rahul Gandhi should stay for the talk instead of running away.

Because they cannot agree, their important meetings keep getting stopped.

This has been going on for about fifteen days.

Everyone is waiting for them to sort out their disagreement.

Minister of Parliamentary Affairs

“Amit Shah does not have the courage to come to the Parliament and stand before us. This is what they have shown in the last 15 days. Neither Narendra Modi nor Amit Shah has the guts...No one is interested in his opinion; we just want to know who ordered the firing, and if he did not order it, then who in MHA ordered it?”
