Rahul Gandhi Sets Three Non-Negotiables to Break Parliament Deadlock
In India, some important leaders were having a big disagreement in Parliament.
A man named Rahul Gandhi said there are three things that must happen before things can get better.
First, he wants the Home Minister, Amit Shah, to say who told police to shoot at students.
The students were protesting because of a problem with a big exam called NEET.
Second, Rahul Gandhi wants the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to say sorry for what happened.
Third, he wants someone to explain about money that went missing from a famous temple called the Ram Mandir.
Rahul Gandhi said that for 15 days the leaders were too scared to come to Parliament.
Another leader named Kiren Rijiju said the Home Minister was ready to talk.
He asked everyone not to make noise while the Home Minister speaks.
So both sides are still talking about how to fix the problem.
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, presented three 'non-negotiable' demands to end the Parliament deadlock.
He demanded that Union Home Minister Amit Shah state who authorized firing against students during the NEET paper leak protest.
Rahul Gandhi said either Shah ordered the shooting and is guilty, or did not know and is incompetent, and should go in either case.
He called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apologize and demanded accountability over the theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Amit Shah was prepared to respond in Parliament and asked members not to disrupt the proceedings.
