In a continuation of the ongoing deadlock, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day on Tuesday due to uproar by opposition members protesting the police lathi charge on students demonstrating against the NEET examination paper leak.
Chaos marked the proceedings as loud protests led to immediate adjournment till noon when the House assembled. Despite resuming at noon, continued sloganeering caused another adjournment till 2 p.m.
Even after reconvening post-2 p.m., the din persisted, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh Singh to adjourn the House for the day. He repeatedly urged members to maintain decorum and adhere to the listed business of the House.
Opposition members, particularly from Congress, continued their vociferous protest, ignoring appeals to respect parliamentary rules and norms. The sustained agitation is centered on alleged police action against students and activists demanding justice in the NEET-UG paper leak case.
The disruptions have paralyzed both Houses of Parliament, with demands for accountability, a fair probe, and support for affected students. The productivity of the ongoing monsoon session is at risk, with the government and opposition locked in confrontation.
