The final day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session witnessed another heated face-off between NDA and Opposition MPs on Thursday, with members of both sides coming face-to-face during protests outside the House.

Sloganeering intensified as the rival groups demonstrated against each other, while security personnel stood between them to prevent the confrontation from escalating. The Opposition demanded a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the lathicharge in Delhi and also sought a discussion over alleged theft of donations made to the Ram Temple.

Opposition MPs raised slogans of “Amit Shah, Sadan Mein Aao” (Amit Shah, come to the House) during the protest.
