Both Houses of the Parliament were adjourned for the day on Monday amid heavy sloganeering by opposition members and without a discussion on the anti-paper leak bill tabled in the Lok Sabha. The bill could not be taken up as the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day amid opposition protests over the NEET paper leak and alleged police action on student protesters.
Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju urged the Congress party to participate in the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, and accused the opposition of deliberately stalling proceedings on the important legislation.
“All the members have come prepared, and several members from the opposition have also submitted amendments; they, too, are well-prepared. This is an important bill, one that is vital for the lives of children, youth, and students,” Rijiju said in the Lok Sabha.
“Yet, the Congress party and some of its allies are deliberately preventing a discussion on such an important bill," he added.
Rijiju said the Opposition had initially demanded a discussion on the NEET issue. “Initially, they were insisting that a discussion should take place, pointing out that the matter concerns examinations and the welfare of children. Now that such a significant bill has been brought and time has been allocated for discussion, they are behaving in this manner.”
