Parliament Highlights: Hello and welcome to this page brought to you by ABP Live. Please follow this space and keep refreshing the page for real-time updates coming straight from the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. Leaders of the I.N.D.I.A opposition bloc plan to raise the NEET issue in both houses of Parliament on Friday, June 28, with members set to give notices, news agency PTI reported citing sources.
The decision was made during a meeting of the I.N.D.I.A bloc floor leaders on Thursday. Opposition members are expected to file adjournment notices in the Lok Sabha and under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha.
Additionally, the leaders have decided to hold a protest on Monday morning before the parliamentary proceedings begin, addressing the "political vendetta" against opposition leaders such as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, and three West Bengal Ministers. These leaders are allegedly targeted by agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED), and income-tax department.
The I.N.D.I.A leaders met at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence. Attendees included Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule (both from the NCP-SP), Derek O'Brien (TMC), Sanjay Raut, Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv-Sena-UBT), Sanjay Singh, Sandeep Pathak (both AAP), NK Premchandran (RSP), and Mahua Majhi (JMM).
Rahul Gandhi later mentioned in a Facebook post that he attended the floor leaders' meeting. "All of us are committed to unitedly raising the issues concerning people and fighting for their rights," he said in Hindi.
The opposition leaders discussed various issues to be jointly raised in both houses of Parliament, including unemployment, price hikes, misuse of central agencies, institutional breakdowns, the NEET exam row, and paper leaks.
The I.N.D.I.A bloc also demands the appointment of a deputy speaker in the Lok Sabha from the opposition ranks. A PTI report said that they will press for this demand and soon discuss potential candidate for the position.

We assure the members once again that the Government is always ready for discussion. But by halting the proceedings of the House, the tendency adopted by the Congress party - of not letting the House function - is not right...I condemn this.
