- Union Home Minister Amit Shah offered a 24-hour debate on Wednesday to break the parliamentary logjam, proposing discussions on NEET student protests from 3 PM today until 3 PM tomorrow, August 13, 2026.

- Tensions persist as both Houses face recurring adjournments, with Gandhi alleging the Home Minister "for the last 20 days" has been absent, while the government maintains it has nothing to hide regarding NEET protests.
