Union Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the central government is ready to engage in a formal discussion within Parliament concerning the actions taken by the Delhi Police against protesters. The statement comes amidst heightened political tension, as opposition parties have repeatedly demanded accountability and transparency regarding police conduct during recent public demonstrations in the capital.

While the government has signaled its willingness to address the matter, the specific terms and timing of the parliamentary debate remain subject to further procedural negotiations between the ruling party and opposition leaders. The Delhi Police, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Union Home Ministry, has faced criticism from various civil society groups and political factions over the intensity of their response to the protests. Supporters of the government argue that the police were maintaining public order, while critics contend that the force used was disproportionate and infringed upon the right to peaceful assembly.

NDTV reports that the government’s move is an attempt to address the deadlock in Parliament, where legislative business has been frequently disrupted by protests over this issue. The government maintains that it is committed to transparency, provided that the discussion remains within the established rules of parliamentary procedure. As of now, the opposition has yet to formally confirm if this offer satisfies their demands for a broader inquiry into the police's operational protocols.
