NEET Row: Govt Open to Parliament Debate, Opposition Demands Minister's Resignation

The Indian government expressed willingness to hold a parliamentary discussion on alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. However, opposition parties refused to engage in any debate unless Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned first. The standoff led to repeated disruptions and adjournments in the Rajya Sabha during the ongoing Monsoon Session. Protests over the alleged NEET paper leak continued both inside and outside Parliament. The government countered that the opposition was deliberately stalling meaningful discussion by imposing preconditions.
