Union Minister JP Nadda on Monday accused Congress MP Rahul Gandhi of misleading the people over the student protests in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and deliberately disrupting Parliament proceedings.
He stressed that the government was prepared to discuss every issue, including the developments at Jantar Mantar.
Addressing the media, Nadda rejected allegations that police had opened fire on protesting students at Jantar Mantar, calling the claim “false” and accusing the Congress of spreading misinformation.

“There was no firing at Jantar Mantar. Stop spreading confusion,” Nadda said, adding that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was ready to respond to every issue raised by the Opposition in Parliament.
‘WHY ARE THEY RUNNING AWAY FROM DISCUSSION?’
Questioning the Congress’s stand, Nadda asked why Rahul Gandhi was avoiding a discussion despite repeatedly demanding debates on various issues.
“The Home Minister is ready to answer every question. If that is the case, why are they running away from the discussion?” he said.
The BJP president alleged that Rahul Gandhi was “changing the goalpost every day” and claimed the Opposition was more interested in creating confrontation than constructive dialogue.
“Their objective is not dialogue but dispute. They do not want the House to function,” Nadda said, alleging that the Opposition had disrupted Parliament for the past 15 days.
‘GOVT READY TO DISCUSS ISSUES’
He further claimed that the government had agreed to discussions on all issues sought by the Opposition, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, inflation and the developments at Jantar Mantar, but alleged that Congress members chose not to participate.
Referring to the student protests, Nadda reiterated that no firing had taken place at Jantar Mantar and urged the Opposition not to spread what he described as misinformation.
He also referred to the student agitation in Jharkhand, alleging that Rahul Gandhi was ignoring the concerns of protesting students there while levelling allegations against the Centre.
Calling Rahul Gandhi an “irresponsible Opposition leader”, Nadda urged him to return to Parliament, saying the government was ready to answer every question and hold discussions on all issues raised by the Opposition.
