NEET impasse deepens: Goverment says 'discuss', opposition says 'Pradhan must go'

During the third day of the Monsoon Session in the Rajya Sabha, a heated confrontation occurred between the Indian government and the opposition over the alleged NEET-UG exam paper leak. The government, represented by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, asserted its willingness to discuss the issue but criticized the opposition for imposing preconditions, specifically demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The opposition, led by Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, refused to engage in dialogue unless Pradhan resigned, arguing that his continued presence undermined the credibility of the discussion. Rijiju emphasized that the government had consistently offered to address the issue since the start of the session and accused the opposition of obstructing transparency. Meanwhile, Leader of the House J P Nadda supported the government’s stance, condemning the opposition’s behavior as disrespectful to parliamentary decorum.
