Both the Houses-- Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha-- have witnessed repeated disruptions since the session began on July 20, with the Opposition demanding a detailed discussion on the issue and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmedra Pradhan.
The protests have also centred on the police action during the Cockroach Janta Party's(CJP) ' Sansad Chalo' march, while the government has accused the opposition of avoiding a debate. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijuju said the opposition is imposing " pre-conditions " instead of participating in a discussion, adding that the government is ready to present its side as well.
