Proceedings in Parliament today began amid an uproar over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak issue and the new criminal laws. Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha were on Friday adjourned after Opposition INDIA bloc members demanded a dedicated discussion on the NEET when the two Houses were to take up the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address.
NEET-UG was conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 5 with around 24 lakh candidates appearing. The results were announced on June 4 but were followed by allegations of question paper leaks and other irregularities.
On the other hand, India’s criminal justice system underwent a complete overhaul today with three fresh criminal codes replacing the full set of British-era laws, including the Indian Penal Code.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam will replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act.
This is the first session of Parliament after the constitution of the 18th Lok Sabha.
