New Delhi, June 28: The opposition continued its strident pitch on the alleged irregularities in the NEET examination with the Congress and other parties demanding a discussion on the floor of the house. With the government insisting on first completing the motion of thanks to the presidential address both houses were adjourned with the Lok Sabha adjourned till Monday, July 1, 11 AM.
The situation escalated further as opposition members stormed the well of the upper house.
Newly elected MP Kangana Ranaut, commenting on the scene, criticized the opposition’s conduct and said, “You saw their conduct there. Speaker too rebuked them…But it seems that they (Opposition) are not ready to listen to anyone. We are here for the first time and we too were flummoxed as to what has happened…It felt bad to see them not letting anyone speak. Forgetting the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to President’s Address, they were acting arbitrarily…I don’t think such conduct should be acceptable.”
Congress MP Manish Tewari expressed disappointment that there was no discussion in the parliament on the NEET issue.
“There are two germane issues. The first is NEET where you have lakhs of students impacted as a result of the paper leak, and the second is those criminal laws which are to be implemented from 1st July 2024. So, an adjournment motion notice had been given on NEET by the INDIA Alliance partners. I had specifically given a notice concerning the criminal laws, that their implementation must be stopped. Unfortunately, this was not discussed,” Manish Tewari said.
