The Story in Brief
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, offering to debate the NEET exam protests in Parliament. Shah said he is ready to answer all Opposition questions and requested the Speaker to consult with the Opposition on timing and duration. He noted that the government had already discussed a related bill in the current session, but no Opposition MP raised the NEET issue then.
Minister Piyush Goyal challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to attend the debate, accusing him of lies and deceit. The monsoon session has been disrupted for two weeks over the protests, with the Opposition demanding Shah's statement on alleged police excesses. Shah insisted he has been attending Parliament regularly but the Opposition is not letting the House function.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are playing to the gallery in this NEET row. The Opposition demands Shah's statement in the House but has stalled proceedings for weeks. The government now offers a debate, yet ministers accuse Rahul Gandhi of hiding. The real test is simple: will Gandhi appear when the discussion happens? That single yes-or-no will reveal who is serious about parliamentary accountability.
