Lok Sabha proceedings adjourned till 2 pm amid protests by opposition

Congress members have submitted notices in both houses of Parliament on Tuesday demanding an urgent discussion on the alleged use of force against students protesting over the NEET paper leak issue.

This comes as a bill introduced by the Centre in the Lok Sabha to strengthen the anti-paper leak law with stringent punishments is likely to be taken up for discussion on Tuesday.

Congress MPs Randeep Surjewala and Syed Naseer Hussain have moved notices under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, while deputy leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi and Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari have moved adjournment notices in the lower house demanding suspension of the listed business to take up the discussion on the important issue.

The Congress has been demanding accountability from Home Minister Amit Shah on the police action against students. They are also asking him to make a statement in Parliament over the alleged use of pellet guns and batons against the protesting students.

"That this House do suspend Zero Hour and the relevant rules relating to Question Hour and other businesses of the day for an immediate discussion on the reported assault on peacefully protesting students in Delhi on 20 July 2026, the use of lathi-charge, tear gas and pellet guns, the alleged assault on women students and journalists," the notices said.

Floor leaders of various opposition parties will hold a key strategy meeting here on Tuesday at 10:00 AM in the office of the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, at the Parliament House.

The meeting of the opposition INDIA bloc leaders aims to chalk out a unified floor strategy and coordinate their approach across both Houses of Parliament--the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha--for the day's proceedings.

The meeting comes as the deadlock continues in Parliament over the NEET paper leak controversy. The Monsoon Session has seen regular adjournments as the Opposition continues its demand of discussion on police action against protesting students across the country.

Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh on Monday introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha.
