The NEET controversy intensified inside Parliament as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led the INDIA Bloc's 'Black Day' protest, with Opposition MPs arriving dressed in black to register their protest against the Centre during the Monsoon Session. Gathering at Makar Dwar in Parliament, Opposition leaders accused the government of failing students and demanded accountability over the ongoing education controversy. The INDIA Bloc renewed its call for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, insisting that justice must be delivered to students affected by alleged examination irregularities. Senior Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge joined Rahul in stepping up the attack on the government. Priyanka Gandhi questioned the Centre over repeated paper leak allegations and raised concerns about the government's priorities in the education sector, while Kharge accused the ruling establishment of weakening democratic institutions.

After the dramatic 'Chalo Sansad' march, the CJP has vowed to continue its nationwide agitation, insisting that the movement against alleged examination and recruitment irregularities will not end despite the police crackdown. Protesters returned to reclaim the Jantar Mantar protest site after Delhi Police dismantled tents and the protest stage following clashes during the Parliament march. CJP leaders alleged that excessive force was used against demonstrators, while police registered FIRs and detained several protesters over violence reported during the march. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has, however, refused to withdraw the agitation, alleging that protesters, including students were subjected to police excesses during the demonstrations. The organization has ruled out another immediate Parliament march but says the Jantar Mantar protest will continue until its demands are addressed. WATCH
