Parliament LIVE: Public Examinations Amendment Bill to be tabled in Lok Sabha today following week of protests over NEET paper leak scam

Here are the latest updates on July 27:

• Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju took to X and urged all MPs to participate in the new bill’s discussion.
  “After listening to the voice of the young generation and the historic decisions taken by Prime Minister Modi for the future of students, I appeal to all the MPs to participate in tomorrow’s The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill,” he wrote.
• The paper leak bill leads the agenda for Monday — listed for both introduction and subsequent passage in the Lok Sabha. It seeks to set up fast-track courts and ensure stricter punishment in cases of paper leaks and exam malpractices.
• All eyes will also be on newly appointed Education Minister  Prahlad Joshi. He assumed the charge on Sunday after the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan following a week of protests. 
• The first week had been an almost complete washout with Opposition leaders sloganeering against the NEET issue, police action against protesters and the alleged embezzlement of Ayodhya Ram Temple funds.
• The Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha just before adjournment on Friday. Opposition leaders had argued that the Bill was an attempt to divert attention from the ongoing students’ agitation.
• The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill will also be taken up following its introduction in the Lok Sabha last week. This seeks to replace an existing ordinance increasing the maximum strength of judges in the apex court from 33 to 37.
• Other bills on the government’s agenda include the Income-tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026; The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026, the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026 and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026.
