Parliament Adjourned Amid Protests Over NEET Exam Irregularities
India's Rajya Sabha was adjourned multiple times due to opposition protests concerning the NEET exam irregularities and alleged police action against demonstrators. Opposition MPs demanded a statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the police action. The government, through its allies, criticized the opposition for using students for political gain and expressed confidence in Prime Minister Modi's commitment to reforms. The Lok Sabha, however, passed the Public Examination Amendment Bill 2026 amid heated debate.
