The INDIA bloc MPs demanded Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation and questioned his absence from House proceedings

Protesting in front of Makar Dwar of Parliament, the lawmakers raised such slogans as 'Amit Shah istifa do,' 'Amit Shah sadan mein aao,' and 'chadhawa chor, gaddi chhor.'

The MPs kept donation boxes in front of the Makar Dwar steps, and independent MP Rajesh Ranjan, known as Pappu Yadav, dressed in saffron, sat with the boxes

As part of a skit, the MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, put money inside the boxes, as Yadav slipped money into his pockets to symbolise the alleged theft at the Ram Temple

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Samajwadi Party's Awadhesh Prasad and Dharmendra Yadav, and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's Mahua Maji were among the others who participated in the protest, standing behind a big banner that read: 'Amit Shah Sadan Se Gayab Kyun?'

The INDIA bloc has said it will corner the government on issues of alleged donation theft and the use of "brutal force" against students during their protests over the NEET paper leak
