Rajya Sabha Paralyzed by NEET-UG Examination Protests

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju signaled the government's willingness to address the controversy, yet he dismissed the Opposition's demands as political posturing. He cited the Prime Minister's push for fast-track courts to handle the fallout as evidence of a commitment to justice, urging a discussion free from the current procedural logjam.

Mallikarjun Kharge countered that the government’s rhetoric has been inflammatory, insisting that any meaningful dialogue remains impossible until the Education Minister steps down. The atmosphere on the floor mirrored the tension outside, where NDA counter-demonstrations met the anti-government protests led by figures including Sonia Gandhi. With both sides refusing to yield, the legislative agenda remains sidelined by the escalating dispute over the integrity of the national medical entrance test.
