Kharge Criticizes Government Over NEET Paper Leak Protests and Anti-Leak BillPreviousNext

Congress Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the government, particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, over the handling of student protests following the NEET paper leak and the introduction of the anti-paper leak bill. Kharge demanded Shah's resignation, alleging police brutality during the July 20 protests and accusing the government of prioritizing politics over meaningful reforms. He called for accountability, a time-bound academic calendar, and systemic examination reforms, while the government defended the bill as necessary to address paper leaks.
