malayalam.indianexpress.com (Malayalam) — August 6, 2026 at 11:01 AM UTC

Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan asked the central government to consider the opposition’s demand that Home Minister Amit Shah appear in the House, following protests that disrupted proceedings. Opposition lawmakers sought Shah’s direct explanation on key national issues and Delhi police’s moves against NEET protests, plus a debate. Chairman asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey their demands to Shah. Rijiju cited rules against disruption and repeated points. Opposition parties welcomed the intervention as a victory. After Zero Hour, Kharge was allowed to speak, drawing treasury bench protests. Kharge said he needed no Rijiju instruction on what, when, or how to speak.
