The government and the Opposition found themselves in a fierce confrontation as the Budget session of Parliament recommenced today, with significant disputes arising over issues such as electoral roll discrepancies, the National Education Policy (NEP), violence in Manipur, the Waqf Bill, and delimitation matters. The Lok Sabha was initially adjourned before resuming on Monday after a tumultuous beginning to Budget Session 2.0, during which members of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) vehemently criticized the Central government regarding the execution of the National Education Policy (NEP) in Tamil Nadu. The situation escalated when Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan retaliated, accusing the DMK of politicizing the future of students.

In the course of this intense debate, Pradhan condemned the DMK, asserting, “They are dishonest. They are not committed to the students of Tamil Nadu. They are ruining the future of Tamil Nadu students. Their only job is to raise language barriers. They are doing politics. They are doing mischief. They are undemocratic and uncivilised.” His comments further fueled the commotion, prompting DMK MPs to surge into the Well of the House in protest.
