What happened

Parliament remained paralysed for a second consecutive day during the Monsoon Session as Opposition MPs protested over alleged NEET paper leak issues, police action against students in Delhi, and a separate allegation relating to Ram temple donation theft. Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned repeatedly.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice in the morning, at 11 a.m. and again at noon, before being adjourned for the day at 2 p.m.. The Rajya Sabha also saw repeated interruptions and adjournments after protest slogans and commotion resumed.

UPSC can frame this as a polity and governance issue: how disruptions affect legislative oversight, how Opposition protests are channelled in Parliament, and how failures in examination administration and policing of protests raise questions of accountability and institutional trust.
