On Monday, Union Minister JP Nadda accused Congress MP Rahul Gandhi of misinforming the public about student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar and intentionally disrupting Parliament proceedings. He reiterated that the government is open to discussing every issue, including the situation at Jantar Mantar. In a press conference, Nadda dismissed claims of police firing on protesting students as false, accusing the Congress of disseminating misinformation. "There was no firing at Jantar Mantar," Nadda stated, adding that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is prepared to address any concerns raised by the Opposition in Parliament. Questioning Rahul Gandhi's avoidance of discussions despite repeated demands for debates on various issues, Nadda asked why he was evading a discussion. The BJP president alleged that Gandhi was changing his stance daily and claimed the opposition was more interested in causing conflict than fostering constructive dialogue. He asserted that the opposition's goal is not dialogue but dispute and they do not want Parliament to function, as they have disrupted it for the past 15 days. Nadda also claimed that the government has agreed to discussions on all issues requested by the Opposition, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, inflation, and the developments at Jantar Mantar, but Congress members chose not to participate. Referring to student protests in Jharkhand, Nadda questioned Gandhi's silence over the agitation, alleging that barbed wire barricades had been set up against protesting students in the state. He accused the Congress, as part of the ruling alliance in Jharkhand, of neglecting students' concerns while criticizing the Centre over the Delhi protests. Accusing Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of adopting "double standards", Nadda alleged that they were creating "anarchy" and engaging in "negative politics" instead of constructive debate. He emphasized that their actions are detrimental to the nation's future progress.
