Police Use Force Against NEET Protesters Near Parliament Amid Political Criticism
During the Monsoon Session of Parliament, student protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak issue. Police used force, including lathi charges and tear gas, to prevent protesters from advancing toward Parliament, leading to criticism from opposition leaders like Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and others who condemned the police action as suppression of democratic dissent. Authorities cited security concerns, while opposition and some political figures called for dialogue and accountability.
