New Delhi | Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla amid the ongoing stalemate between the government and the opposition over a debate on the police crackdown on protesting students here and alleged theft of Ram temple donations.
The opposition has been stalling Lok Sabha proceedings while seeking a response from Shah on the use of force by police on students during their march to Parliament on July 20.
Shah spent nearly an hour in Birla's office.
Separately, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Shah in his Parliament House office.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju asserted in the Lok Sabha on Friday that the opposition cannot dictate which minister will come to the House and respond.
He said Shah comes to Parliament every day and stays till late night.
