The monsoon session of Parliament is set for a stormy start today, with Opposition MPs likely to corner the government on the alleged NEET paper leak and Ayodhya Ram Temple donation theft cases. Ahead of the commencement of the session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address the media at Hans Dwar, Parliament House.

CJP’s Parliament march: The opening day of the monsoon session also sees a protest march led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament as they demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET scandal. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on an indefinite hunger strike, has said he would break his fast only if the Centre accepts responsibility for issues such as paper leaks or agrees to discuss the same in the current session.
