Congress Alleges Communalisation After Medical College Permission Revoked in J&K

The Congress party has accused the Modi government of 'communalising education' following the National Medical Commission's revocation of permission for the MBBS course at Jammu and Kashmir's Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence. The NMC cited deficiencies in faculty, infrastructure, and clinical material. Congress leaders highlighted that a majority of admitted students were Muslim, attributing this to regional demographics, and questioned the inspection process before licensing. The closure followed protests by right-wing groups seeking seat reservations for devotees of Mata Vaishno Devi. Congress also linked this to broader concerns about political influence in education.
