Parliament Adjourned Amid Opposition Uproar
The Parliament in India had to stop its work early because the opposition parties were very upset.
They want the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to resign because they say he didn't do his job well, especially with a big exam called NEET where the exam papers were leaked.
The opposition also didn't want a new law to be introduced.
The government says they want to talk about the exam leak but the opposition keeps shouting and demanding the minister's resignation.
So, both the upper house (Rajya Sabha) and the lower house (Lok Sabha) decided to stop their work for the day and will meet again on Monday.
Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha adjourned till 11 AM Monday due to opposition uproar.
Opposition demands resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over NEET paper leak and other issues.
