It also turned into an unexpected showcase of Gen Z vocabulary, with MPs across party lines dropping terms such as &#8220;clock it&#8221;, &#8220;MIA&#8221;, &#8220;FOMO&#8221; and &#8220;delulu&#8221; to sharpen their political arguments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>From the treasury benches praising the Centre&#8217;s reforms to the opposition attacking the government&#8217;s handling of the NEET controversy, lawmakers reached for internet slang more commonly found on social media than in Parliament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>&#8216;Clock it&#8217;<br \/><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj used the Gen Z phrase &#8220;clock it&#8221; \u2014 a slang term used to recognise something \u2014 while backing the proposed legislation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/> Speaking in favour of the Bill, she said, &#8220;Borrowing Gen Z&#8217;s language, I would have to say that Modiji clocked it at providing this legislative solution.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/> Calling the amendment a &#8220;transformative&#8221; step, Swaraj argued that it reflected the government&#8217;s commitment to protecting the integrity of public examinations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> &#8220;I am standing in support of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. This is a transformative amendment. Its necessity is not only evident, but it is also the demand of the present time. Bringing this amendment is proof of the sensitivity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his committed government. Speaker Sir, when a competitive examination is compromised, its impact is not limited to the candidate whose future is put at stake,&#8221; she added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>NDA MP&#8217;s &#8216;delulu&#8217; jibe at opposition<br \/><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Lata Eknath Shinde turned to multiple Gen Z expressions to mock the opposition&#8217;s protests over the NEET paper leak.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/> &#8220;I&#8217;d like to sum up the opposition&#8217;s protest in Gen Z language. They were MIA (missing in action) for the first 37 days and did not go to Jantar Mantar. <!-- -->Then came FOMO (fear of missing out), so they held a protest outside the Prime Minister&#8217;s residence. Finally, they became &#8216;delulu&#8217; (delusional), believing the protesting students would join them\u2014but no one did,&#8221; Shinde said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Priyanka&#8217;s swipe at PM&#8217;s videos<br \/><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, meanwhile, invoked Gen Z while targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s public outreach, arguing that young people could see through political messaging.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>&#8220;If you want to win over the Gen Z, then making videos with different camera angles will not help. The prime minister needs to change the angle of his heart, not the angle of cameras,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>She also urged the government to acknowledge the concerns raised by students over the examination controversy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>&#8220;Injustice has been done with youths under your government, accept the truth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi must take responsibility,&#8221; Priyanka said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>The Lok Sabha began discussing the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill at 2pm on Tuesday.
