INDIA bloc intends to raise issue of alleged excesses against NEET protesters in Parliament; Rahul writes to Shah, TMC serves notice
INDIA bloc parties are set to push for an urgent debate in Parliament over the alleged use of excessive force against students protesting over NEET paper leaks, with Rahul Gandhi writing to Home Minister Amit Shah seeking accountability and TMC’s Sagarika Ghosh issuing a notice to suspend the day’s work to discuss a matter of “grave national importance” on Monday.
While the Center plans to introduce a bill in the Lok Sabha on Monday to tighten the anti-paper leakage law and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has called off its agitation following Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation as education minister and other demands from the government, the Congress and other opposition parties are showing no sign of giving up.
They are expected to demand an answer from the government in both houses over allegations of the use of firearms, the use of plainclothes people during the July 20 protest and the injuries suffered by several students.
