    Parliament Deadlock Over Opposition's Demands, Jharkhand Student Protests

    The Monsoon Session of Parliament has been disrupted due to a deadlock between the government and Opposition parties. The Opposition, led by the Congress, has been demanding a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police action against students protesting in Delhi on June 20. The government has agreed to a statement from Shah, but the Opposition continues to press for more. Meanwhile, protests and slogans against Shah have repeatedly disrupted both Houses of Parliament. Key bills involving women's reservation, delimitation, and the FCRA remain uncertain due to the disruptions. Additionally, BJP MPs have been protesting against police action on students during a 'Vidhan Sabha Gherao' march in Jharkhand, with Rahul Gandhi being targeted for his alleged double standards.
