Amid student protests over alleged irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and other competitive exams, the opposition INDIA bloc raised  the issue in both houses of Parliament today.

The Opposition tried to corner the government even though the day is dedicated to a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address to Parliament.

In case the matter comes up today, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will respond to it, sources said.

In her address to the joint sitting of Parliament on Thursday, President Droupadi Murmu said the government is fully committed to investigating the recent incidents of paper leaks and ensure that the guilty are punished.

This is the first session of Parliament after the constitution of the 18th Lok Sabha.
