Parliament adjourned till August 10 over Shah demand
The Hindu··7 Aug
Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned on August 7 till August 10 amid Opposition protests seeking a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah. The demand concerns July 20 police action on protesters near Parliament over the NEET paper leak. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Shah is present in the complex and that the Opposition cannot dictate which minister replies.
