Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: Venugopal's remarks come hours before the Centre is set to introduce the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha on Monday.

"The youth and students have given a clear warning to Narendra Modi ji. That is why the government has surrendered and is now bringing the bill. Earlier, their stand was that there would be no discussion in Parliament, but now they are saying they will bring the bill. We will meet tomorrow and decide our stand. Congress is very clear. The demands raised by our leader Rahul Gandhi before the Prime Minister and the government include the demand of the entire nation and India's students. The NEET and CBSE examination issues have affected students' futures, and many children have suffered. This examination system has ruined the future of youth and students. Those responsible must answer, which is why we demanded the resignation of the concerned minister, and he resigned," he said.
