The first two days of the session also witness a ruckus in the houses which led to zero functioning of Parliament.Meanwhile, the upper house too faced the same ruckus over the same demand. However, union minister Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh said that they are ready for the discussion. Despite this, the opposition kept on protesting at Parliament on Monday.Questioning the oppositions intent, the union home minister said, “On a very sensitive (Manipur viral video) issue, many members have demanded a discussion and I am ready for the discussion. I do not know why the opposition doesnt want to allow a discussion.”“I request the Leader of the opposition (in Lok Sabha) to let a discussion happen. It is very important that the truth comes out before the whole country,” he added.While Shah was speaking, some opposition members held up placards inscribed with the message “INDIA stands with Manipur people”.Similarly, the members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) will meet today at the office of Congress national president and the Leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge to chalk out a floor management strategy before the Upper House goes into session.
