Lok Sabha Adjourned Till Monday Over NEET Debate

The Lok Sabha was adjourned till Monday after the opposition stuck to its demand for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, while the government said any excuse to not let a debate take place on the NEET paper leak issue would send a wrong signal to the country. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Lok Sabha that the government was willing to debate students' issues 'the way the Opposition wants it', an offer seen as a tacit acceptance of the demand for an adjournment motion. However, the opposition refused to back down, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The Lok Sabha has been adjourned till Monday, with the opposition planning to move the adjournment motion on Monday.
