Parliament set to witness stormy debate from tomorrow

June 30, 2024 11:36

Parliament is set to witness heated debates on a range of issues like the NEET paper leak row, the Agnipath initiative and inflation when both houses reconvene on Monday.

Besides the paper leak matter, the opposition is also likely to raise the issue of unemployment.

In the Lok Sabha, BJP member and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur is set to initiate the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address.

The Motion will be seconded by first term Lok Sabha member Bansuri Swaraj, the daughter of BJP stalwart late Sushma Swaraj.

The Lok Sabha has allocated 16 hours for the debate on the Motion of Thanks, which will conclude with the reply by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.

In the Rajya Sabha, 21 hours have been set aside for the debate and the prime minister is likely to reply on Wednesday.

Parliament has been rocked by protests over the NEET issue. NEET-UG was conducted by the NTA on May 5 with around 24 lakh candidates appearing.

The results were announced on June 4, but they were followed by allegations of question paper leaks in states such as Bihar, besides other irregularities. -- PTI
