Parliament Deadlock Over NEET Paper Leak
The Parliament in India has been in a deadlock for four days.
The opposition parties are protesting because they want the Education Minister to resign over a paper leak in the NEET exam.
They say they won't discuss the issue until the minister resigns.
The government says they are ready to discuss the issue but won't agree to the opposition's demand.
Both sides are shouting slogans and protesting outside the Parliament.
The Speaker of the House has asked everyone to calm down and discuss the issue, but the protests continue.
It seems like the situation might not get better anytime soon.
Parliament proceedings were stalled for the fourth consecutive day over the NEET paper leak issue.
Opposition demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan before any discussion.
Government is ready to discuss the NEET paper leak issue but does not agree to the precondition of the minister's resignation.
Protests and counter-protests were staged outside the House by both opposition and ruling party MPs.
