Venugopal Dismisses Amit Shah's Student Protest Debate Offer as Face-Saving

Important leaders in India's Parliament are upset about how police treated students who were protesting.

The students were hurt during police actions in Delhi, and the opposition wants the government to explain what happened.

The Home Minister, Amit Shah, said the government is ready to talk about it in Parliament.

But a Congress leader named KC Venugopal said this offer is just to make the government look good.

He said the government is trying to change the subject by talking about protests in another place called Jharkhand.

Rahul Gandhi leads the opposition, and his party says he is always ready to discuss.

Some opposition members asked why the government waited so long to offer a discussion.

They said Parliament's session is almost over.

The leaders want answers about police using strong weapons and about some missing donations.

The argument has been stopping Parliament from working smoothly.
