Parliament Monsoon Session Faces Deadlock Over NEET Paper Leak and Student Protests
The 2026 Monsoon Session of Parliament has been marked by repeated disruptions over the alleged NEET paper leak and police action against protesting students. Opposition parties, led by Congress and the Samajwadi Party, demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan before any debate, citing concerns over student rights and police conduct. The government, represented by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Leader of the House JP Nadda, insists it is ready for discussion under parliamentary procedures without preconditions. Both Houses have faced multiple adjournments amid protests and counter-protests, with opposition leaders staging demonstrations in black attire and government MPs organizing rival protests. Floor leaders plan to meet to strategize amid ongoing deadlock.
