NDA-Opposition Face-Off Escalates In Parliament Over Student Protests, Examination Irregularities And Police ActionThe government argued that once the Home Minister had agreed to respond on the Floor of the House, the Opposition should facilitate a substantive debate rather than resort to repeated adjournment and disruption. Parliament Monsson SessionNew Delhi: The political temperature in Parliament rose sharply on Tuesday as the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Opposition intensified their confrontation over student protests, alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and accusations of police excesses against demonstrators. The government contended that a ministerial statement followed by parliamentary debate would provide the appropriate institutional mechanism for addressing allegations concerning law and order, examination administration and the treatment of protesters. A large number of candidates reportedly marched towards the State Assembly seeking remedial action over alleged irregularities in the recruitment process. The controversy has acquired an additional investigative dimension with the Enforcement Directorate examining alleged financial irregularities connected with the recruitment examination issue.
