Parliament impasse may end with exam bill debate

Parliament's deadlock may break as Lok Sabha is set to discuss the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill on Tuesday, following Speaker Om Birla's outreach to opposition parties. The bill, part of PM Modi's response to NEET-UG leaks, penalizes paper leaks. Government warned it would pass it via voice vote without debate if opposition continued disruptions over Delhi Police actions. Opposition leaders including Congress and Samajwadi Party have indicated willingness to debate, but demand Home Minister Amit Shah's response on police excesses.
