Parliament deadlocked over NEET protests, bill introduced

Union Minister Jitendra Singh introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in Lok Sabha amid opposition protests over police action against NEET protesters. The bill proposes stricter penalties for paper leaks, including up to 10 years imprisonment and fines up to Rs 10 crore. Parliament remained deadlocked with repeated adjournments, but sources indicate a discussion may occur Tuesday after efforts by Speaker Om Birla.
