What happened
Opposition INDIA bloc MPs and ruling National Democratic Alliance MPs staged rival protests outside the Parliament complex at Makar Dwar before both Houses met. The confrontation centred on the NEET paper leak and alleged Central Board of Secondary Education irregularities.
The Opposition demanded that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign. The ruling alliance countered with slogans accusing the Opposition of politicising the issue and arguing instead for discussion in Parliament.
UPSC may frame this as a question on how Parliament should respond to allegations involving examination integrity: demands for ministerial accountability, the Opposition’s right to raise issues, and the need for orderly parliamentary functioning. The issue can also be linked to governance in the education sector and the credibility of public examinations.
