New Delhi, Aug. 11 -- The government on Monday offered to debate students' issues and police action in Parliament with a reply by Union home minister Amit Shah, in a last-ditch effort to end the two-week-long logjam, but the Opposition insisted on specific responses and a second debate on donation theft in the Ram Temple. In a meeting of the Lok Sabha's Business Advisory Committee (BAC) chaired by speaker Om Birla, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju made the offer. Birla, too, appealed to the Opposition to cooperate in the smooth conduct of proceedings, pointing out that the government agreed on the main demand of the Opposition - a statement by Shah. "We have made it clear to the BAC of the Lok Sabha that the government is ready for a full-fledged discussion on the student and youth agitations that have been going on in different parts of the country as well as police action. The home minister will give point-by-point reply to the debate on behalf of the government," Rijiju said after the BAC meeting. Pointing out that the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had demanded that Shah make a statement in Parliament on the student protests. Rijiju said, "We have made our offer. Now, there appear to be some differences between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party - which they need to resolve. As for the student issue, we are ready for a discussion. We have stated our position. Now, it is up to the Samajwadi Party and the Congress to sort out the differences between them." Both the Congress and the SP said debates on both issues were non-negotiable. "The question was never that Amit Shah would come and speak on some general topic. Neither we nor the nation is interested on his view on education. We are not interested in any fantasy statements from Shah. He has to clarify who authorised the shooting at youngsters in Delhi. Students were fired at. They were beaten with lathi with nails. Shah is guilty of either negligence of culpability and he must resign," Gandhi said. Over the past two weeks, the ongoing monsoon session has been largely washed out because the Opposition demanded a statement from Shah in the House over allegations of police excesses and the use of pellet guns at the July 20 protest demanding the resignation of then education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. To be sure, the supplementary list of business stated earlier in the day that Shah was going to introduce two bills - one to formally change the name of Kerala to Keralam, and another to amend the National Co-operative Development Corporation Act. Eventually, the first bill was introduced by Union minister of state (MoS) Nityanand Rai and the second by MoS Murlidhar Mohol. For the SP, which faces the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections scheduled early next year, the controversy around Ram Mandir collections has been the top issue in the monsoon session, which ends on August 13. "The Opposition have been demanding from the very first day that the home minister make a statement. The government is not ready to do so. There are still two days left, and the government has time to discuss both issues. It is not an ordinary matter that the offerings made to Lord Ram have been stolen...Were government or BJP leaders involved in it? Who will ultimately answer for this?"
