Opposition Confronts Government Over NEET Paper Leak Scandal

Rahul Gandhi convened an emergency meeting of Congress MPs at his residence to solidify the party's strategy against the government. The primary point of contention remains the request for a suspension of business under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, a move the opposition views as essential for a transparent inquiry into the widespread paper leaks.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed the opposition's procedural demands as a calculated tactic to disrupt governance rather than address the crisis. He argued that the government is prepared to debate the issue but rejected the imposition of terms that would politicize the investigation. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the creation of fast-track courts to prosecute those responsible for exam irregularities, Mallikarjun Kharge dismissed the gesture as a superficial attempt to evade accountability. With both sides refusing to yield, the legislative agenda remains stalled amid growing public unrest.
