Minister in Rajya Sabha: Potential conflict of interest in RDI Fund disbursement

On July 30, 2026, several key developments and discussions took place in the Rajya Sabha. Among these was an issue raised regarding a potential conflict of interest in the disbursement of the Research and Development Initiative (RDI) Fund, involving a minister.

Additionally, the Rajya Sabha witnessed a clash between the opposition and the government as the house cleared the anti-paper leak Bill (Public Examinations Paper Leak Amendment Bill 2026).

Furthermore, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar informed the Rajya Sabha that 414 Indian nationals were deported from the United States during the first three months of 2026. In total, 588 Indians were deported from the US and European countries between January and March 2026.
