Parliament's Punch and Judy Show Continues The recent spat between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, highlights the deepening chasm between India's government and opposition.
The controversy centers on Shah's alleged absence from Parliament, which he denies, and the opposition's demand for answers on the police action against students during their July 20 march over the NEET paper leak issue.
Shah has offered to sit in Parliament for 24 hours straight, taking notes and responding to every point. However, Gandhi has rejected this offer, saying the opposition is seeking answers, not lectures.
