  "summary": "The Monsoon Session of Parliament is currently in its 19th day, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressing willingness to have a full debate on the protests against the NEET paper leak. However, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, rejected this offer, stating that the youth wanted answers on who ordered the firing on and police assault of protestors. The session has seen limited business, with no Question Hour and several Bills being passed amid disruptions. Opposition members demanded that Shah respond to the use of police excess against protestors, and the Lok Sabha passed a Bill to amend the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act without a debate. The Rajya Sabha passed two more Bills on Wednesday, bringing the total to about 10 passed during the stormy session.",
