Congress leader Jairam Ramesh moves a notice in the Rajya Sabha seeking privilege proceedings against Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The notice follows Pradhan’s remarks concerning a parliamentary committee in the context of the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Ramesh alleges that the minister’s statements lower the dignity of Parliament and show contempt toward Parliament and its committees. The matter is framed as an issue of parliamentary decorum and the proper conduct expected from ministers when referring to committee processes. If accepted, the privilege motion would proceed through the Rajya Sabha’s process for examining alleged breaches of privilege or contempt. The reports describe the dispute as centered on Pradhan’s comments rather than providing additional details about the NEET leak investigation itself. Pradhan’s response to the allegations is not included in the available summaries.
