Rajya Sabha Adjourned Over NEET Paper Leak
The Rajya Sabha, which is like a big meeting of important people who make laws, had to stop its work several times on Thursday.
This happened because the Opposition, which is the group that is not in power, wants the Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to step down from his job.
They say this is because there was a problem with a big exam called NEET, where the exam paper was leaked.
The government, which is in power, says they are ready to talk about the problem but do not agree to the condition of the minister's resignation.
Both sides were shouting and not letting the meeting work properly, so the meeting had to be stopped and started again several times.
Rajya Sabha witnessed multiple adjournments on Thursday over the NEET paper leak issue.
Opposition demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan before any discussion.
Government is ready for a discussion but does not agree to the condition of Pradhan's resignation.
Opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge accused the government of not addressing student protests and hospitalizations.
Government leader J P Nadda accused the Opposition of being irresponsible and not allowing the House to function.
