Today is the 13th day of the Parliament's monsoon session. Similar to the past few days, disruptions are expected today as well. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has introduced an adjournment motion on the SSC exam issue. Delays in proceedings are likely.
Monsoon Session: The monsoon session of Parliament has entered its 13th day, but a significant portion of the proceedings thus far has been marred by disruptions and protests. Proceedings in both houses are likely to be delayed today as well. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has filed an adjournment motion, raising serious questions about irregularities related to the education and examination system.
Disruptions Continue in the Monsoon Session
The current monsoon session of Parliament has been fraught with controversies and protests. The opposition's stance has been consistently aggressive in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. In the past few days, proceedings in both houses had to be adjourned until 11 am due to the opposition's sloganeering against the government and demands for answers on various issues.
The government is now attempting to break the parliamentary deadlock and prioritize pending legislative business. As part of this, the central government is working on a plan to pass several important bills.
No Substantive Debate Besides Discussion on Security Issues
So far in the session, only the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor conducted by the Indian Army have been subjects of serious discussion for some time. Apart from this, the remaining proceedings have been affected by opposition protests and disruptions, raising questions about the smooth functioning of the House.
Questions Raised on the Education System in Rajya Sabha
Before the proceedings of the 13th day, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh has once again tried to change the subject of discussion. He has filed an adjournment motion under rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, in which he has raised the issue of alleged irregularities in the SSC Phase 13 examination and its impact on students. He says that millions of students have been affected by this process and the government should respond to it.
Demand for Transparency in the Examination System
Sanjay Singh has also stated in his proposal that serious questions have been raised about the transparency and credibility of the examination system. Students repeatedly face such situations, which threaten their future. He has demanded that there should be an open debate on this subject in the House and the government should clarify the situation.
Increasing Pressure Inside and Outside the House
On this issue, discontent is increasing not only within the Parliament but also among student organizations and youth outside. The SSC examination system is also being criticized on social media. In such a situation, raising this issue by Sanjay Singh is being seen as an attempt to give voice to the feelings of the youth.
What will be the Government's Strategy?
This is a double challenge for the government. On one hand, it has to get the bills passed inside the Parliament, on the other hand, the opposition is engaged in a strategy to corner the government at every opportunity. On sensitive issues like education and examination system, the government will have to show transparency and resolve the doubts of the youth.
