Opposition Demands Debate and Accountability Over NEET Paper Leak Protests Amid Clashes
The recent student protests over alleged NEET paper leaks and police action have sparked intense political debate during Parliament's Monsoon Session. Opposition leaders, led by Rahul Gandhi and Congress figures, demanded accountability, including the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and called for parliamentary discussions on the issue. The government, represented by Minister Jitendra Singh, expressed readiness to debate the matter but accused Rahul Gandhi of shifting demands. Clashes between protesters and police, and protests outside the Prime Minister's residence, have heightened tensions amid calls for reforms in the education system.
