Rahul Gandhi Demands Amit Shah's Resignation; Shah Offers Debate
Two very important leaders in India had a big argument.
Their names are Rahul Gandhi and Amit Shah.
They argued in Parliament, the big building where India's leaders meet to make decisions.
Rahul Gandhi thinks Amit Shah should quit his important job, because that is what 'asking for a resignation' means.
Amit Shah does not agree, and he wants to have a debate about it instead.
A debate is like a formal argument where each side gets to explain its ideas.
Some people are asking whether the leaders who disagree with the government are trying to avoid that debate.
A news show called India Upfront talked about the argument.
Pranesh Roy hosts that show.
People across India are now watching to see what happens next in Parliament.
