There will be a big fight in Parliament on NEET paper leak: Government ready for discussion, political temperature heated up by Kiren Rijiju’s roar



The political temperature inside and outside the Parliament has reached its peak regarding the NEET Paper Leak issue, which is the most sensitive and related to the future of millions of youth of the country. Amidst the continuous aggressive attitude and uproar of the opposition, a very big and clear statement has now come out from the Modi government. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has loudly announced in the House that the government is fully ready to discuss every aspect of this very serious issue in the Parliament, provided the opposition maintains the dignity of the House. Amidst the uproar of the opposition, the government took a big and tough stand. With the beginning of the Parliament session, the opposition had started working on the strategy to corner the government over NEET paper leak and other systemic shortcomings. The MPs of the opposition parties came to the well of the House and raised slogans and remained adamant on the demand for discussion on this issue under the immediate stop work motion. Taking the lead on behalf of the government amid this huge uproar and noise, Kiren Rijiju made it clear that the government is not going to run away from any issue. He said that this matter related to the sentiments of lakhs of students and their parents of the country is very sensitive for the government and there should be an open debate on it in the House. Kiren Rijiju bluntly: Why is the opposition running away from discussion? Taking aim at the opposition, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the government is ready to answer on every serious issue under the rules and procedures of Parliament, but the opposition is disrupting the proceedings of the House only to score political points. He said that if the opposition is really serious about the interests of the students, then they should stop sloganeering and participate in the debate of the House and put forth their suggestions. After this open challenge by Rijiju, the conflict between the ruling party and the opposition in both the houses of Parliament has become more intense. The eyes of students and youth across the country are fixed on the proceedings of Parliament. The effect of this entire political turmoil is clearly being seen on the major educational and political centers of the country like Delhi, Lucknow, Patna and Kota. Lakhs of youth, who are busy preparing for competitive examinations, have their eyes fixed on whether any concrete conclusion can be reached from this high-voltage discussion in Parliament or not. Student organizations and parents say that rising above politics, strict laws and steps should be taken to reform this examination system, so that there is no scope for such rigging in future.
