Derek O’Brien says Gen Z protests taught MPs humour in Parliament

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.
