West Bengal CM Condemns Attacks During NEET Protests, Promises Strict Action
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari condemned attacks on police and journalists during protests over the NEET paper leak in Kolkata. He assured strict action against miscreants under the recently enacted Goonda Act, with around 70 individuals identified, some unrelated to the protest. Opposition leader Ritabrata Banerjee also condemned the violence and called for swift action. Protesters, including Left student groups and the Cockroach Janata Party, demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, with some chanting slogans deemed anti-national by the CM. Police maintained restraint amid attempts to provoke violence.
