Randeep Surjewala Gives Adjournment Notice in RS, Seeks Discussion on NEET Paper Leak
The Congress MP seeks an immediate discussion under Rule 267 as protests grow over the NEET leak and police action against students.
- On Thursday, Congress MP Randeep Surjewala filed a notice under Rule 267 to suspend all Rajya Sabha business and force debate on NEET paper leak, police action against protesting students, and education reforms.
- The cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 following an organised paper-leak network affecting over 22 lakh candidates, combined with at least 93 reported NEET-linked student suicides over five years, prompted Congress to seek parliamentary action.
- Reports document police action against peacefully protesting students and parents, while deficiencies in the CBSE On-Screen Marking system caused widespread complaints and mental distress across lakhs of students.
- The government stated it is ready to discuss NEET, but Congress insists on debate under Rule 267 in Rajya Sabha and Rule 56 in Lok Sabha; both Houses have stalled for three days of the Monsoon session.
- Congress's use of suspension procedures signals determination to force high-profile debate amid ongoing parliamentary dysfunction, reflecting broader questions about institutional responsiveness to examination failures affecting millions of students.
