With the government stating that Union home minister Amit Shah will reply in the Lok Sabha on the Delhi students’ protest, chief minister Yogi Adityanath and deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak on Tuesday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the rest of the Opposition, urging them to patiently listen to Shah’s response instead of creating a ruckus in the House.Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has said democracy grants the freedom to ask questions, but it also fixes the responsibility to listen to the answers. (FILE PHOTO)Using the Hindi hashtag #Rahul_Bhagna_Nahi (Rahul Don’t Runaway) in their posts on X, Yogi and Maurya criticised the Opposition for the repeated disruptions in Parliament and demanding Shah’s response over the police action at Jantar Mantar.Adityanath said, “Democracy grants the freedom to ask questions, but it also fixes the responsibility to listen to the answers. Union Home and Cooperation Minister @AmitShah ji is fully prepared to present his stand in detail in the House regarding issues concerning students…The Congress and the entire Opposition are expected to face the facts, uphold the dignity of the House, and listen to the reply in full. In a democracy, prestige is enhanced through debate, not by running away.” .Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak held a press conference at the BJP state headquarters and challenged Rahul Gandhi to face a debate in Parliament, alleging that he was repeatedly changing his “goalpost” to avoid a discussion.He accused Gandhi of adopting “politics of convenience” by raising the Jantar Mantar protests while remaining silent on the Jharkhand incident.In a post on X, Maurya accused the Congress of making baseless claims over the police action on protesters, and misleading the public.“Weaving a web of lies, levelling baseless allegations, and fleeing the scene the moment the truth comes to light -- this is the reality of the politics of Rahul Gandhi and the Congress. They have one principle - tell lies, create a ruckus, and when the Union Home and Cooperation Minister @amitshah ji responds with facts, walk out of Parliament,” he said.Earlier on Monday, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the government was ready for a debate on the students’ agitations and the police action, adding that Shah will be giving his reply on the issue.
