Home Minister Amit Shah met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for nearly an hour on Friday amid a parliamentary logjam over opposition demands for his statement on police action against students. The opposition has stalled Lok Sabha proceedings, seeking Shah's response to the July 20 police crackdown on students marching to Parliament and alleged theft of Ram temple donations. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said opposition cannot dictate which minister responds. Separately, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Shah in his Parliament House office. A debate on the FCRA Bill is scheduled for August 12. Rijiju noted Shah attends Parliament daily.
