Parliament Monsoon Session 2026 Live Updates: Opposition MPs from the INDIA bloc held a protest at Parliament's Makar Dwar at 10.30 am today, continuing their agitation over the NEET-UG paper leak controversy as the Monsoon Session of Parliament has largely remained gridlocked over the issue.
The protest follows a direct face-off that broke out between NDA and INDIA bloc MPs on Thursday, as both sides staged simultaneous demonstrations at Makar Dwar.
The Opposition is demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, while the NDA has accused them of deliberately blocking a debate on the issue.
In a post on X, Congress posted the three demands that the opposition had which includes the resignation of Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
"There are 3 demands of the youth, which must be fulfilled. Dharmendra Pradhan must resign, action must be taken against those who committed violence against students, Narendra Modi must apologize to the country's youth," the Congress posted.

Make Statement Instead Of Delivering 'One-Sided Mann Ki Baat: Congress To PM
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said when Parliament is in session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be making a statement on the paper leaks issue on the floor of the House and not delivering a "one-sided Mann Ki Baat".
Kharge's remarks came after Modi announced on Thursday night in a video message that a bill containing provisions for strong action against paper leaks would be introduced in Parliament next week.
In a video message, PM Modi also said the contours of the bill would be discussed at a meeting of the Union Cabinet on Friday, where the proposed legislation will be finalised.
Reacting to the PM's remarks, Kharge said, "Before coming to Parliament today, please dismiss Dharmendra Pradhan. First, apologise to the students and take strict action against those who ordered the use of batons and pellet guns to suppress the students' voices. Then we are ready for a detailed discussion on the education system."
"When Parliament is in session, the prime minister is required to make a statement on the floor of the House. He should not be delivering a one-sided 'Mann Ki Baat' outside Parliament," the Congress chief said in a post in Hindi on X.
