The Story in Brief
TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien said the monsoon session belonged to the opposition, crediting Gen Z protests over NEET paper leaks for setting the tone at Jantar Mantar. He told Times of India that students taught MPs how to use humour in serious political communication, moving from criticism to ridiculing the government. O'Brien highlighted coordinated opposition work, with all parties including AAP and DMK finding space despite internal friction. The INDIA bloc parties plan to maintain momentum and decide on a August meeting date.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that Gen Z protests single-handedly scripted opposition success is overstated. Parliament's coordinated attacks and procedural disruptions played a bigger role. The real test is whether this unity holds beyond the session. The August INDIA bloc meeting, if it happens, will reveal if the alliance can move from humorous jibes to concrete policy alternatives.
