Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Monday amid protests by Opposition MPs over several issues, including alleged police action against protesting students and the alleged theft of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed noisy demonstrations as Opposition parties pressed the government for responses on the matters.
Lok Sabha proceedings were disrupted by Opposition protests, with MPs seeking a government response over the alleged police action against students protesting an alleged NEET paper leak. The disruptions prevented the House from completing its Question Hour, marking the 16th day when the Question Hour could not be completed.
Opposition parties, led by the Congress, have been seeking the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament to respond to the police action against students. The issue relates to protests held last month over allegations surrounding the NEET examination, with Opposition MPs continuing to raise the matter during the Monsoon Session.
