Protests find echo in both Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha as Monsoon Session begins
Protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak disrupted both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the first day of the Monsoon Session. Security was heightened with riot gear personnel and mobile phone jammers deployed, extending an Internet shutdown to Parliament House. The protests included riot control vehicles and the sound of teargas shells, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's presence in the Lok Sabha.
