On Friday, the INDIA bloc will introduce adjournment motions on NEET in both houses of Parliament.
This decision was made during a meeting of the INDIA bloc’s floor leaders held today at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in the national capital.
Sources indicated that if a discussion on the NEET issue is not permitted, the INDIA bloc leaders will stage a protest inside the House.
“Several issues were discussed today in the meeting. There will be a debate on all the issues in the Parliament, including the President’s address and the election of the speaker,” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh told ANI.
DMK MP T Siva stated, “We will give notices (in Parliament) on the NEET issue tomorrow.”
Hanuman Beniwal, President of Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, said, “The opposition is united and will raise issues of NEET, Agniveer, inflation, unemployment, and MSP in Parliament.”
Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi added that all the critical issues facing the country will be raised in Parliament.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, met Speaker Om Birla on Thursday and expressed his displeasure over the reference to Emergency made by the chair, calling it “clearly political” and avoidable.
“It was a courtesy call. The Speaker declared Rahul Gandhi as the Leader of Opposition, and afterward, he, along with other INDIA bloc partner leaders, met the Speaker,” he said.
Earlier today, President Droupadi Murmu criticized the imposition of the Emergency in 1975 under the Congress government led by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
“Emergency was the biggest and darkest chapter of the direct attack on the Constitution. The entire country plunged into chaos during the Emergency, but the nation was victorious against such unconstitutional powers,” the president said while addressing the joint sitting of Parliament.
