Lok Sabha Adjourned Amid NEET Protest Sloganeering; Rijiju Says Amit Shah Will Reply

The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Monday amid continued sloganeering by Opposition MPs over the NEET paper leak issue and police action against protesting students at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the House that Home Minister Amit Shah was ready to make a detailed statement on the students’ protest and urged the Opposition to participate in the discussion.

The Opposition has been demanding a response from Shah over alleged police “brutality” during the ‘Sansad Chalo’ march on July 20, which was organised over alleged irregularities in NEET and other recruitment examinations.

Rijiju urges Opposition to stay for Shah’s reply

After proceedings resumed, Rijiju said the government was prepared to discuss the concerns raised by students and that the Home Minister would respond to the issue.

He also urged Opposition MPs not to leave when Shah addresses the House.

Despite the appeal, Opposition members continued raising slogans and displaying placards. Jagdambika Pal, who was presiding over the proceedings, repeatedly asked MPs to maintain parliamentary decorum and refrain from displaying placards.

Tribunal Reforms Bill passed amid protests

Amid the continued sloganeering, Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal spoke on the Tribunal Reforms Bill, 2026.

The Bill was subsequently passed amid the Opposition protest.

Pal questioned the Opposition's continued disruption, saying that the government had agreed to a discussion and that the Home Minister was prepared to respond.

The Lok Sabha was eventually adjourned for the day, with the Opposition continuing its protest over the students’ demands and the July 20 police action.
