What Parliamentary Affairs Minister said on Amit Shah’s Parliament address?
“The Congress party and Rahul Gandhi have been demanding a statement from Amit Shah from day one. The government is ready to hold a discussion on the issue of students and give a detailed response,” Rijiju said.
“I request the Congress party not to walk out during his statement. It should not be scared,” he said.
Opposition MPs trooped into the well carrying placards and raised slogans as proceedings continued to be disrupted.
BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, who was in the Chair when the House reassembled at 2 pm, said the government had agreed to the opposition’s demand and urged members to restore order in the House.
“If the parliamentary affairs minister is saying that the home minister is ready to respond, then restore order in the House. This is the last week of the Monsoon session. Who is responsible for the washout over the last three weeks of the session? You are not participating in the debate,” Pal said.
Amid the protests, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, and moved it for consideration and passage.
The Bill seeks to establish a commission for the selection of chairpersons and members of various tribunals, with the aim of improving efficiency and ensuring independence, transparency and uniformity in their qualifications and appointments.
Meghwal said the number of tribunals had increased over time and the government had been working to rationalise the system since 2015.
