BJP Veteran Murli Manohar Joshi Calls for Empathy in Handling NEET Student Protests
Veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi expressed concern over the police crackdown on student protests against the NEET paper leak, describing the use of force—especially against young women—as painful and counterproductive. He emphasized that students' anxieties about the examination system are genuine and should be addressed with empathy and lasting solutions rather than treated solely as law-and-order issues. The protests, led by the Cockroach Janta Party, have intensified amid demands for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and calls for systemic reforms.
