ராகுல் காந்தி போராட்டம், மத்திய அரசுக்கு முன்வைத்த 5 கோரிக்கைகள் - இரவில் வேகமாக அரங்கேறிய காட்சிகள்
Lok Sabha session postponed to afternoon after opposition parties caused disruption during a protest regarding a lathi charge on students.
Through the Reader lens — Widespread protests over a NEET exam paper leak and a subsequent police lathi charge on students have escalated into a major parliamentary confrontation in India. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi staged a protest outside the Prime Minister's residence and issued five demands to the central government, triggering security lockdowns across central Delhi. Inside Parliament, opposition parties disrupted Lok Sabha proceedings, forcing the session to be postponed until the afternoon. BJP leaders responded by publicly honoring Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in an attempt to project solidarity, while opposition Congress members labeled him a 'paper thief.' One report indicates Pradhan has resigned — a rare concession by the Modi government amid election pressures — though other accounts suggest the government is holding firm. Manika Rana also denied reports of her removal from the BJP Yuva Morcha following protests at Jantar Mantar. Watch whether Pradhan's resignation is formalized and whether the opposition sustains disruption into the next session.
What to watch next
- Confirm whether Pradhan's resignation is formally accepted
- Monitor if opposition extends Parliament disruption
- Watch for further student protests and police responses
- Track BJP's internal messaging on NEET fallout
