A parliamentary committee meeting saw sharp exchanges after Opposition members sought a discussion on alleged police excesses against protesters on July 20; the chairman refused, citing the matter was sub judice.

A meeting of the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs turned contentious on Tuesday as Opposition members demanded a discussion on the alleged use of force against protesting students on July 20.
Congress member Ajay Maken raised the issue during the panel's scheduled hearing on "crimes against children," but committee chairman Radha Mohan Das Agarwal did not allow a discussion, saying the matter was sub judice, according to sources.
The exchanges continued for about an hour, with Opposition members including Congress's Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Jai Prakash participating. The committee was hearing officials from various ministries on the scheduled subject.
