BJP leader JP Nadda on Wednesday (Jul 22) slammed the Opposition leaders over “anti-democratic conduct” as they continued to protest in the Lok Sabha, which led to the session being adjourned multiple times. Nadda said that the Centre was ready to hold discussions on the NEET paper leak issue. The proceedings will now convene tomorrow at 11 am. Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha was also adjourned till tomorrow. This comes as chaos erupted in Parliament over the NEET-UG paper leak.
“The INDI Alliance’s conduct is very irresponsible. We can clearly see this anti-democratic conduct in the Parliament. Parliamentary decorum is being shredded, and democratic values are being violated. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has said very clearly just now that the Govt is ready to discuss all issues. Besides this, our government is also ready to discuss the NEET paper leak and all matters related to it.”
He added, “Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, ours is a transparent government. It is a government which always rules in the favour of the people. So, we strongly condemn their (Opposition's) anti-people activities. They do not believe in democracy or democratic values.”
‘We are ready for a discussion’
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju added that the government has been ready to discuss the NEET paper leak since the Monsoon Session of the Parliament began on Monday (Jul 20).

JP Nadda, Jitendra Singh meet Sonam Wangchuk at Medanta Hospital: Report
“I would like to present the side of the Govt in the House. Since day one of the Monsoon session, the Govt has been saying that we are ready to have a discussion on all important issues. We are ready for a discussion on NEET exam paper leak since the beginning. We are ready even now. We have said this to the Congress leaders as well as leaders of other parties that the Govt is ready for a discussion, but how the discussion is to be taken up has to be decided after meeting with everyone under the chairmanship of the Chair,” he said.
He further added, “But if they are looking for excuses to not have a discussion and put up conditions, then it is not right. Our Govt is ready to have a discussion on NEET exam and related matters for the future of the youth. It is our responsibility to tell the nation whatever steps have been taken by the Govt...As soon as the Chairship decides, Govt is 100% ready for a discussion.”
