The NEET controversy takes a fresh political turn as reports indicate Union Home Minister Amit Shah holds key meetings with senior BJP leaders amid continuing protests and Parliament disruptions. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla says the government is ready to discuss the NEET paper leak in Parliament, while BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj says the Centre remains committed to protecting students' future. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also says the government is prepared for a positive discussion through the parliamentary process. Meanwhile, JP Nadda and Union Minister Jitendra Singh continue outreach efforts, meeting Sonam Wangchuk at Medanta Hospital. Here's everything that happened.

Day 1 of the Monsoon Session of Parliament began with repeated disruptions as both Houses faced adjournments amid protests by the Opposition. The Opposition demanded discussions on the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and police action against protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge raised both issues in the Upper House, while proceedings came to a standstill.
