Rajya Sabha adjourned till Wednesday amid NEET row

Rajya Sabha proceedings were disrupted for the seventh consecutive day on Tuesday, July 28, as opposition parties raised the issue of police action against NEET paper-leak protesters in the national capital.

The House had already adjourned once minutes after convening at 11 am, over the same uproar. When it reassembled post-lunch, Deputy Chairman Harivansh took up government legislative business during which Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi introduced The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026, as listed on the day's agenda.

But protests soon resumed, prompting Chairman C P Radhakrishnan to adjourn the House till Wednesday, July 29.

The opposition's main demand was for Union Home Minister Amit Shah to be present in the House and make a statement on the matter, a demand the treasury benches resisted.

The Rajya Sabha has faced multiple disruptions since the Monsoon session began on Monday, July 20, over the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper-leak controversy.
