Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Friday till July 1 amid Opposition's strong push and demand for a discussion on the issue of alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance examination.
As the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha sessions resumed on Friday, the Opposition demanded a discussion on the NEET issue and irregularities in exams conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). This led to noisy scenes and the adjournment of both Houses until 12 pm. Although the Houses reconvened later, proceedings were adjourned until July 1.
The Rajya Sabha witnessed repeated adjournments following an uproar by Opposition parties demanding immediate discussion on the alleged irregularities in NEET as the House took up the Motion of Thanks to the President's address.
When the Rajya Sabha reassembled at 2:30 pm after the third adjournment, DMK member Tiruchi Siva informed the House that Congress MP Phulo Devi Netam, who felt dizzy and had fainted earlier, had high blood pressure.
In response, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said: "I have taken all steps, suspended the working of the House. All arrangements were made and that was the most that could be done. Everything is being taken care of." However, the Opposition was apparently not satisfied and started sloganeering. Soon after, they staged a walkout and were also joined by members of the Biju Janta Dal (BJD).
The Chairman again expressed anguish over the situation prevailing in the House.
