The opposition led by the Congress is expected to rake up the Delhi violence issue in Parliament on Monday as the House opens for the second part of Budget Session. Congress leaders have been demanding the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah and are likely to launch a protest in Parliament over the violence that has killed over 40 people in northeast Delhi. AAP and CPIM MPs have already given Suspension of Business Notice in Rajya Sabha over the violence last week.
The Congress submitted a leave of motion notice in the Lok Sabha stating that the “unprecedented violence” during the riots had dented India’s secular credibility and tarnished the image of the country globally, while the Trinamool Congress staged a dharna at the Gandhi statue.
