BJP slams Opposition 'anarchist mindset' as Parliament deadlock persists
In India, the people who make laws meet in a big building called Parliament.
Lately, the two main groups of leaders have been arguing.
One group, called the Opposition, keeps shouting and stopping the meeting.
The other group, led by the government, says it wants to talk about important things.
The leader of the BJP, Nitin Nabin, said the Opposition is acting like it does not want to listen.
A minister named Kiren Rijiju said he has never seen anything like this before.
The Opposition wants the Home Minister to explain something about a student protest that happened on July 20.
The government says it is ready to talk, but the Opposition will not join the chat.
The Home Minister even wrote a letter asking an important Speaker to help.
This arguing has made it hard for Parliament to get its work done.
The special season of Parliament meetings ends on August 13.
BJP president Nitin Nabin accused the Opposition of deliberately disrupting Parliament and blocking key discussions, citing an 'anarchist mindset'.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said he was 'totally frustrated', calling the deadlock 'unprecedented' in a parliamentary democracy.
The Opposition is demanding a response from Home Minister Amit Shah over alleged police atrocities during the July 20 students' protest.
Rijiju said Home Minister Amit Shah wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker asking him to persuade Opposition leaders to agree to a discussion.
The Monsoon Session is scheduled to conclude on August 13.
