Home Minister wants to talk about student protests in Parliament

What happened in Parliament

India's Home Minister Amit Shah told lawmakers that he wants to talk about the recent student protests. He asked opposition political parties to let the government work and keep the meeting running smoothly. But opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, said they did not want to listen to a long speech. Because of the loud arguments, both parts of Parliament had to close until the afternoon.

Why people are fighting

Students across the country have been protesting about important issues. The government and the opposition disagree on how to fix these problems. Both sides are blaming each other for stopping important talks in the government building.

• Amit Shah asked the opposition to let Parliament do its job.
• Rahul Gandhi said the opposition is not interested in a lecture.
• Lawmakers argued so much that the meeting was paused until two in the afternoon.

What happens next

Politicians will try to talk again when Parliament opens later today. People across the country are waiting to see if the government and the opposition can finally agree to have a peaceful discussion about the students.
