AAP's Sanjay Singh seeks Rajya Sabha debate on NEET-UG paper leak, Sonam Wangchuk's health
New Delhi, July 19, 2026: Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday submitted a Suspension of Business notice under Rule 267, seeking an urgent discussion on the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, the credibility of public examinations, police action against protesters, and the deteriorating health of activist Sonam Wangchuk.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to begin on Monday, July 20.
Sharing the development on X, Singh said, "My notice under Rule 267 to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. All business of the country's Parliament should be adjourned to hold a discussion on the paper leak and the demands of Sonam Wangchuk."
In his notice to the Rajya Sabha Chairman, Singh described the alleged NEET-UG paper leak as a matter of "urgent public importance", stating that the cancellation of the May 3 examination and the subsequent nationwide re-examination had shaken the confidence of lakhs of students in India's examination system.
The AAP leader claimed that the alleged paper leak marked the fourth such incident involving the medical entrance examination in the past nine years, highlighting what he termed as persistent weaknesses in the conduct of public examinations.
Singh further alleged that while over 22 lakh candidates appeared in the original NEET-UG examination, nearly 20 lakh students took the re-examination, with more than two lakh candidates remaining absent. He said the high absentee rate reflected declining public trust in the examination process.
Calling for structural reforms, Singh argued that repeated examination paper leaks across the country had affected crores of students over the past decade and required long-term institutional changes rather than temporary measures.
The notice also referred to climate and education reform activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on an indefinite hunger strike in support of students affected by the alleged paper leak. Singh alleged that Wangchuk was removed from the protest site by the Delhi Police and continues his fast while undergoing treatment in hospital, raising concerns over his health.
In the notice, Singh said the repeated paper leaks, cancellation of the country's premier medical entrance examination, student distress, alleged police action against peaceful protesters, and Wangchuk's deteriorating health together constituted an issue of grave national importance.
He urged the Rajya Sabha Chair to suspend the scheduled business under Rule 267 and allow a detailed discussion on the matter, saying it directly concerns the future of India's youth and the credibility of the country's public examination system.
