Govt ready for Parliament discussion on paper leaks; Opposition insists on Pradhan's exit: 'Can't be a fair...'

The Union government is willing to hold a Parliamentary discussion on paper leaks.

The Opposition, led by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, demands the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan before any discussion.

Kharge insists the discussion must be under Rule 267, which allows urgent issues to override listed business.

Union minister JP Nadda accused the Opposition of anti-democratic behavior and undermining parliamentary dignity.

Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said the Opposition makes demands but refuses to listen, blocking dialogue.
