Students' protests rock Bihar Assembly on final day of Monsoon session

On July 24, 2026, during the final day of the Monsoon session, the Bihar Legislative Assembly was disrupted by a heated debate between the ruling party and the opposition regarding ongoing student protests across the state. The protests initially began in the state capital and later spread to multiple districts after concerns arose over a leaked National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam paper. RJD member Alok Mehta raised the issue, citing reports of injuries caused by police action, including instances where police allegedly used firearms in Jehanabad. He called for a discussion on the suppression of students' legitimate demands. However, the discussion turned contentious when Lok Janshakti Party member Raju Tiwari accused protesters of being goons and suggested a censure motion against them. The assembly descended into chaos, with members from both sides exchanging accusations and rushing toward the speaker’s platform. Despite efforts by Speaker Prem Kumar to restore order, the session was eventually adjourned until 12 p.m.
