SP pressures opposition to take up Ayodhya donation scam, Congress focuses on police crackdown
Samajwadi Party pushed the Opposition bloc in Lok Sabha to discuss the Ayodhya temple donation theft issue, while Congress insisted on addressing the police crackdown on protesters.
As a compromise, the Opposition decided to take up both issues simultaneously, evidenced by loud protests inside and outside Parliament.
The Monsoon session's fate is uncertain, with sources indicating a washout of the remaining ten days is possible if demands are not met.
SP and allies are pushing for an 'adjournment motion' on the temple theft, which would convey censure of the government.
Opposition MPs held a banner reading 'Who gave the order?' and placed donation boxes to protest the pellet gun firing on students and the temple theft.
