He said, 'Talk about mercy from this government and Parliament, especially Rajya Sabha… there is no mercy for the people. They continued the proceedings of the House, they did not come to see what happened.' Kharge said, 'We also want to run the House, but what is their way… a member fainted, they did not even see what was happening. They adjourned the House for some time and did not express any concern over the incident.'

He said, 'Members should not be treated like this, they are not getting the respect they deserve and I condemn this attitude.' Kharge said Netam has been admitted to the ICU and his condition is improving. He said a CT scan has been done to check if there is any impact on the brain and some more tests will be conducted on him.

Renuka Choudhary also expressed protest
Congress leader Renuka Chowdhary said Netam had fainted while protesting in the House and criticised the Rajya Sabha chairman for continuing with the proceedings of the House even after a member was taken to hospital. “An MP fainted, the Parliament doctor observed that her blood pressure had increased dangerously. Some MPs were rushing to the hospital to attend to her, but the House will continue… the life of one person, one MP, one woman has no value,” Chowdhary said.

DMK leader Tiruchi Siva said they were forced to leave the House. “We gave a notice under Rule 267 to discuss the NEET issue… but they did not allow it. Opposition parties were raising slogans, which is not unusual. The ruling party did not pay attention to that. Suddenly Phulo Devi fainted, even after that they continued the debate,” he said. Trinamool Congress MP Sagarika Ghose said there was no concern from the government over Netam fainting. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MP Mahua Majhi said she was in the ambulance with Netam and he has been admitted to the ICU and his condition is improving.
