Amit Shah Offers Parliamentary Debate on NEET Protests Amid Opposition Rejection
Union Home Minister Amit Shah offered a 24-hour parliamentary debate on the NEET paper leak protests and related police actions, urging the Opposition to submit a formal request to Speaker Om Birla to begin discussions. Shah emphasized his readiness to answer all questions and accused the Opposition of disrupting Parliament and avoiding debate. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, rejected the offer, demanding direct answers and accountability rather than extended discussions. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and BJP leaders criticized the Opposition for stalling proceedings, while some opposition MPs called for specific responses on police conduct during protests.
