With the Monsoon session of Parliament nearing its end and many sessions disrupted, the government is trying to break the impasse with the opposition on topics such as student protests, the Ram Temple donation case, and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). The government has set terms for Union Home Minister Amit Shah's reply on the student protests, stating that it will include agitations in opposition-ruled states like Punjab and Jharkhand. The Congress party and other opposition parties have been demanding a discussion on police action against students during protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over exam paper leaks. Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has urged Amit Shah to reveal who ordered the "firing against students" on July 20. The government is also open to discussing the embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple, but only after a debate on other issues. Another point of contention between the government and the opposition has been the proposed amendments to the FCRA bill - India's foreign funding legislation. The opposition seems divided on the bill, with some parties demanding its withdrawal and others seeking referral to a joint parliamentary committee for scrutiny. With just two days left before the Parliament session ends on August 13, several issues remain unresolved between the opposition and the government.
