Lok Sabha adjourned till 2 p.m 'NEET Protest'

The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 p.m. on Wednesday after the Opposition Benches ignored repeated requests from Speaker Om Birla to maintain the decorum of the House. 

The Opposition MPs continued with relentless sloganeering, demanding Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s presence in the House and a statement on the police action against the NEET protesters on July 20.

Even after the government, earlier in the week, gave assurances that the Home Minister will deliver a reply on



the issue, the Opposition continued with its protests even on Wednesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi of “using students to promote his agenda” while saying that the Home Minister Shah has already prepared to respond during a “full-fledged discussion” on students’ agitation.

He alleged that the Opposition “did not allow” the discussion to take place and instead “ran away”.
