Congress MP Randeep Surjewala on Thursday submitted a notice for the suspension of all business in the Rajya Sabha to discuss the NEET paper leak, police action against protesting students and educational reforms, news agency PTI reported. The notice comes amid demands raised by the Congress to hold a full-fledged discussion on the issue of students’ stir and police action against them. While the government has assured that it is ready to discuss the NEET issue, the Congress party has expressed it wants it done under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha and Rule 56 in the Lok Sabha.
Both Houses of Parliament have failed to transact any business for the first three days of the Monsoon session, which commenced on July 20 amid Opposition uproar, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Meanwhile, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Tiruchi Siva also submitted a notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking the suspension of the day’s proceedings to discuss the NEET paper leak controversy and ongoing nationwide student protests, according to news agency ANI.
