Parliament Riled by NEET Scam and Ram Mandir Donation Theft
Parliament Riled by NEET Scam and Ram Mandir Donation Theft; Proceedings Halted Amid Demands for Education Minister's Resignation
New Delhi (July 21, 2026): On the very first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session, the opposition created a massive uproar over the NEET exam paper leak and the theft of donations from the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha came to a complete standstill as the opposition raised slogans demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
In the Lok Sabha, proceedings were adjourned six times before being adjourned for the day after 3 PM. The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned for the day following the commotion.
Key Highlights:
NEET Issue: Amravati Congress MP Balwant Wankhede complained to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla that a 'starred question' he had submitted regarding NEET had suddenly gone missing.
Ram Mandir Theft: The opposition also took an aggressive stance regarding allegations of theft involving temple donations.
At the start of the session, tributes were paid in the Lok Sabha to six former members and the former Emir of Qatar who had passed away.
Prime Minister Modi's Appeal
Before the session began, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to all parties for a meaningful discussion. He urged that debates be based on logic and facts rather than uproar. He also noted that Parliament is a platform that provides direction to the nation.
Other Developments:
In the Rajya Sabha, the swearing-in ceremony for nine newly elected members took place following the National Anthem.
While praising private-sector rocket launches, the Prime Minister took an indirect dig at Rahul Gandhi.
With parliamentary proceedings stalled, key issues remain to be discussed. Given the opposition's continued aggression, further disruptions are anticipated in the coming days.
