NEW DELHI: Defence secretary RK Singh on Monday said leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has been invited to the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort on August 15 and will be seated immediately after the Union Cabinet ministers.”Leader of opposition has been invited, and his seating would be as per the Table of Precedence, which is exactly after Cabinet ministers,” Singh told news agency ANI.The clarification comes after Congress criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rahul Gandhi’s seating arrangement during the Independence Day celebrations last year, alleging that he was seated in the “fifth row” and calling the move a display of “pettiness” and a disregard for democratic norms.Officials from the ministry of defence, which organises the event, said the seating was arranged “according to the Table of Precedence”.Congress had also accused the Centre of violating established protocol and undermining democratic decorum after Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge were seated in the third row during the Republic Day celebrations earlier this year.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAs per protocol, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha has a rank equivalent to that of a Cabinet minister.According to the Warrant of Precedence issued by the President’s Secretariat, seating arrangements at state and ceremonial occasions are decided based on constitutional rank and office, and not political affiliation.The Table of Precedence is a protocol list that applies to state and ceremonial occasions, including national events such as Republic Day celebrations, and has no application to the day-to-day functioning of the government.Under Article 7 of the Table of Precedence, the Leaders of opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are placed alongside Union Cabinet ministers, after the Speaker of Lok Sabha, the Chief Justice of India and former prime ministers.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Amit Shah set to respond in Parliament on student protest crackdown NEW DELHI: Union Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said Union home minister Amit Shah is prepared to respond in Parliament on the student protest crackdown, while asking opposition members not to disrupt the proceedings when the statement is made.”The offer made by the government is very clear that it is ready to have a full and detailed discussion on students’ movement and activities related to it,” news agency ANI quoted Rijiju saying.Emphasising the need for an uninterrupted parliamentary process, Rijiju urged the opposition to hear the government’s response before raising further issues.”My only point made to the opposition is that while the discussion and a reply are being made, the opposition should not create disturbances to prevent the statement of the Home Minister,” he added. “They must listen to the reply of the home minister and the government. Once discussion begins, we must have a threadbare discussion.”Rijiju’s remarks came after leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised Centre over police action during the July 20 student protests at Jantar Mantar and demanded a court-monitored probe.”Pellet guns, nail-studded batons, and tear gas shells–these were used to attack students who were peacefully asking questions only about their future. The police beat the girls, leaving injuries on the private parts of several. Minors suffered broken bones. The Modi government responds to questions with such barbarity. And the home minister? Nearly 20 days have passed, but Amit Shah hasn’t even come to Parliament to answer on this matter.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines Every opposition proposal for discussion has been rejected. Their silence is not just negligence or oversight–it is an endorsement of the violence. They are either guilty or incompetent. We demand an investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court. And until they are held accountable, this fight will not stop,” he said in a post on X.The Lok Sabha witnessed another round of disruptions as opposition MPs protested over the Jantar Mantar student protest and alleged theft of donations meant for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.Four key Bills, including the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, and the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, were introduced amid the uproar.Parliament proceedings have repeatedly been disrupted during the Monsoon Session, with six of the eight Bills passed by the Lok Sabha so far being cleared without debate.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Amit Shah set to respond in Parliament on student protest crackdown NEW DELHI: Union Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said Union home minister Amit Shah is prepared to respond in Parliament on the student protest crackdown, while asking opposition members not to disrupt the proceedings when the statement is made.”The offer made by the government is very clear that it is ready to have a full and detailed discussion on students’ movement and activities related to it,” news agency ANI quoted Rijiju saying.Emphasising the need for an uninterrupted parliamentary process, Rijiju urged the opposition to hear the government’s response before raising further issues.”My only point made to the opposition is that while the discussion and a reply are being made, the opposition should not create disturbances to prevent the statement of the Home Minister,” he added. “They must listen to the reply of the home minister and the government. Once discussion begins, we must have a threadbare discussion.”Rijiju’s remarks came after leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised Centre over police action during the July 20 student protests at Jantar Mantar and demanded a court-monitored probe.”Pellet guns, nail-studded batons, and tear gas shells–these were used to attack students who were peacefully asking questions only about their future. The police beat the girls, leaving injuries on the private parts of several. Minors suffered broken bones. The Modi government responds to questions with such barbarity. And the home minister? Nearly 20 days have passed, but Amit Shah hasn’t even come to Parliament to answer on this matter.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines Every opposition proposal for discussion has been rejected. Their silence is not just negligence or oversight–it is an endorsement of the violence. They are either guilty or incompetent. We demand an investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court. And until they are held accountable, this fight will not stop,” he said in a post on X.The Lok Sabha witnessed another round of disruptions as opposition MPs protested over the Jantar Mantar student protest and alleged theft of donations meant for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.Four key Bills, including the Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, and the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, were introduced amid the uproar.Parliament proceedings have repeatedly been disrupted during the Monsoon Session, with six of the eight Bills passed by the Lok Sabha so far being cleared without debate.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Police deployed water cannons as the crowd pushed through successive barricades before resorting to a lathi charge to prevent further movement. Police on Monday used water cannons, tear gas and resorted to a lathi charge as thousands of students protesting alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations marched towards the Jharkhand Assembly in Ranchi. The protesters attempted to breach multiple layers of barricades as they advanced towards the Assembly.At least three people, including two protesters and a Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) personnel, were injured during the confrontation, according to officials. The protesters were taking part in the ‘Vidhan Sabha Gherao’ march organised by the JPSC-JSSC Reform Morcha.Several videos surfaced online showing protesters advancing towards the Assembly despite multiple layers of barricading and heightened security as the Monsoon Session of the Jharkhand Assembly remained underway. Videos also showed police using water cannons against the protesters, some of whom were seen dancing and raising slogans as they faced the water jets.Police deployed water cannons as the crowd pushed through successive barricades before resorting to a lathi charge to prevent further movement.Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) leader Devendra Nath Mahto also joined the march and was seen being carried by protesters as they moved towards the Assembly. Mahto has been on a hunger strike at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, the main protest site, for the past nine days.Carrying a portrait of former Jharkhand chief minister Shibu Soren, Mahto said, “Despite being on hunger strike, the barbed wires will not be able to stop us. I came here in an ambulance. The government will have to listen to us.”Mahto said protesters had already crossed three layers of barricading and questioned the government’s response to the agitation.“I am no God or messiah; I am a common man. There will be no change in my personal life. But the barbed wires hurt more than the hunger strike. Students crossed three layers of barricading. Why does the government want anarchy and not agree to students’ demands?” he said.He also urged chief minister Hemant Soren not to allow the situation to escalate.“Today it’s CM Hemant Soren’s birthday, and he should not take such a step where some unfortunate events like at the Jantar Mantar take place here. Do not do anything that causes someone to bleed or get injured and makes the crowd even more agitated,” Mahto said.“Arrest is a legal process, but there should be no bloodshed. If the government does not agree to the demands, it will be remembered as the one which killed democracy. I will not end the fast,” he added.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesVikram Kumar, a student protester injured in the lathi charge, alleged that police action came without provocation.“Hemant Soren ji, you should not have done this.
