The opposition also created a ruckus in the Rajya Sabha today over the NEET paper leak issue. The House was finally adjourned for the day after the opposition and ruling party members exchanged accusations over the issue.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge demanded the resignation of the Education Minister, saying that until then there could be no fair and proper discussion on this sensitive issue in the House. He also alleged that the government was trying to suppress and crush the voice of students.

Responding to this, Leader of the House and Union Minister JP Nadda criticized the opposition's stance. He alleged that the behavior of the Indi alliance was highly irresponsible and their anti-democratic actions were clearly visible in Parliament.

Nadda said that the opposition is violating democratic values by tarnishing the image of Parliament. He clarified that the government is fully ready to discuss the NEET leak and all related issues.

Nadda also said that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working on the principle of transparency and is committed to taking decisions in the public interest. He also criticized the opposition party for its anti-people stance and lack of faith in the democratic process.

Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned three times due to the continued uproar by the opposition. Even after that, the situation did not improve, and the House was finally adjourned for the day.
