Political Standoff and Protests Intensify Over NEET Paper Leak Controversy in India
The NEET paper leak controversy has sparked widespread protests and political confrontations across India. Opposition parties, led by Congress and INDIA bloc MPs, demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and accountability for alleged police actions against student protesters. The ruling NDA, including BJP leaders and ministers, assert readiness for parliamentary debate and highlight government measures like fast-track courts for offenders. Tensions escalated with rival protests inside and outside Parliament, while activists like Sonam Wangchuk continue hunger strikes demanding transparent investigations. Both sides accuse each other of politicizing the issue amid ongoing nationwide student unrest.
