Tempestuous scenes rocked Parliament for the third consecutive day on Wednesday, with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav fuming over not being allowed to speak on the NEET-UG paper leak and the crackdown on the July 20 youth protest. It prompted Akhilesh to question whether the government and the Congress had reached an understanding after the Lok Sabha Speaker allowed Congress's KC Venugopal and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju to speak.

As the Lok Sabha assembled on Wednesday, there was an uproar from the opposition over demands for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and a discussion on the NEET paper leak. With the opposition refusing to back down despite an adjournment, Speaker Om Birla allowed members from the BJP and the Congress to speak.
