Has Gen Z stir softened govt stance? Rijiju appeals to Rahul on FCRA, delimitation

The Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has begun engaging with the opposition to seek support for two critical legislative proposals amid a prolonged period of parliamentary deadlock caused by Gen Z-led protests. These protests, which began over issues such as the NEET exam paper leak, police actions against demonstrators in New Delhi, and allegations of donation theft at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, have effectively halted the Monsoon Session of Parliament. In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi twice within ten days, seeking his party's backing for the proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) and a constitutional amendment related to delimitation and women's reservation ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Despite these efforts, no agreement has yet been reached, as the Congress insists that the government must first address concerns regarding the crackdown on protesters and the alleged donation theft.
