Opposition Seeks Rajya Sabha Debate on NEET Controversy and Student Protests Under Rule 267
The Opposition in India’s Rajya Sabha has invoked Rule 267 to seek an immediate debate on the NEET examination controversy and alleged police action against student protesters. Led by Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh, the Opposition demands discussion on police use of force, detention of leaders, and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak. The government, represented by Kiren Rijiju and J.P. Nadda, states readiness to discuss the issue but emphasizes following parliamentary procedures. The Chair’s approval is required to suspend regular business for the debate.
