Congress Rajya Sabha leader Phulo Devi Netam, on Friday, collapsed inside the parliament while protesting against the BJP-led government in the NEET paper leak case. She was then taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where she is currently being treated. Her party has given no update on her health.
Amidst the ongoing Parliament session, Congress on Friday accused the ruling BJP-led NDA government of silencing opposition leaders by allegedly turning off their microphones. This allegation was made as Rae Bareli MP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi accused Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla of trying to suppress his voice as he opened discussions on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) issue. Congress also alleged that the microphone of its chief, Mallikarjun Kharge, was turned off in the Rajya Sabha when he raised concerns about students suffering from exam paper leaks in the country.
