Rajya Sabha Adjourned Twice Over NEET Issue

Proceedings in the Rajya Sabha were disrupted twice on Monday after Opposition parties pressed for a discussion on the alleged use of force by police against students protesting the NEET paper leak in New Delhi. The House was first adjourned shortly after it assembled in the morning and again at 12 noon as Opposition members demanded a debate on the issue and sought a statement from Union home minister Amit Shah. The government refused to budge, leading to the adjournment of the House. The Opposition parties, including the Congress and the Trinamool Congress, were adamant that the government should take action against the police officers involved in the alleged use of force. The government, however, maintained that the police had acted in accordance with the law and that there was no need for a debate on the issue. The adjournment of the House has once again highlighted the ongoing tensions between the government and the Opposition parties over the NEET issue.
