New Delhi, July 30 -- Congress MP KC Venugopal on Thursday pressed for direct answers from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the police action and firing directed at student protesters in the national capital from the country's leadership inside Parliament.

"Who ordered the police action in Delhi? Who ordered the firing at the students in Delhi? We want an answer from the Home Minister of India. Why is the Home Minister of India running away from Parliament? You are not even allowing the LoP to speak," he said.

Earlier, the Opposition MPs began a protest at Makar Dwar in the Parliament complex over the alleged police action against student protesters and the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
