Rijiju defends Amit Shah as opposition demands pellet gun statement in Parliament

Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju defended Amit Shah as opposition MPs demanded a statement on pellet guns used against students, prolonging Parliament disruptions. Rijiju accused opposition of unruly behaviour and said Shah’s name terrifies terrorists. The government blamed Congress and opposition MPs; Lok Sabha passed MSME bill amid din, while Rajya Sabha adjourned. Separately, opposition parties demand written assurance that Lok Sabha seat proportions will be maintained, threatening the FCRA and Delimitation bills despite government outreach.
